"I was a young boy from Western Sydney with a dream to play professional football. My journey to reach that goal was full of so many experiences, challenges and memories that will always be cherished," he said."I want to thank all the clubs I represented for allowing me the opportunity to do so. Coaches, staff, teammates, supporters you all played your part so thank you.
"Last but not least to my wife and children thank you for being my biggest fans it’s meant the world. To my boys, dream big and never stop chasing your dreams." While working part-time in the office of his uncle's building company, Jedinak would famously make the hour-long commute from western Sydney and Gosford and back, five days a week for five months, in the hope of winning a contract at the Central Coast Mariners.
