Tony Mowbray has praised Bailey Wright's professionalism while speaking about the tragic news the Aussie received, just hours after qualifying from the World Cup group stages.
FOCUS
"He’s with his international team-mates and they’re going through an adventure. Bailey is a great guy, an amazing human being, and he’ll know that we’re all there supporting him. But I also think he’s a very focused guy."
TONE SETTER
“I was just watching on the TV, showing Australia training, and you can see Bailey right in the thick of it. Even when he’s not had much game time, I know what he’s like here. Bailey is the kind of guy who will go round every morning shaking everyone's hand and saying hello, he's such a happy and sharp guy. It's so nice to have someone who sets the tone."
PROFESSIONAL
"He’s still right at the heart of it, he’s still the loudest voice in the dressing room before the game when the team goes out, encouraging and demanding. I know his professionalism and I know he'll be doing everything he can, whether he's playing or not, to make sure that his team are ready."
WISH HIM WELL
“Life’s a journey for us all, and it’s really sad what’s happened and we wish him well. From his perspective, hopefully we won’t be seeing him too soon, but they’ve got a tough fixture against Argentina so we’ll see.”
