Vanuatu international Mitch Cooper made a welcome return to action for his NPL Victoria side Hume City in Australia after recovering from an injury that had kept him sidelined since February. The midfielder made his comeback on April 1st as a starter in a 5-2 victory over Moreland City.
Cooper’s return to the pitch was eagerly awaited by Hume City fans, who have missed his creative midfield play and ability to score goals. The 28-year-old is a key player for his side in the past seasons and his absence had been keenly felt by his team.
In the two most recent matches played by Hume City, Cooper came on as a substitute. In the second match, a 3-1 victory over Green Gully, Cooper once again came off the bench and made an impact on the game.
Cooper’s contribution to the win over Green Gully was particularly noteworthy. With Hume City drawing 1-1, Cooper came on in the second half and immediately caused problems for the opposition defense. His pressure led to a mistake by a Green Gully defender, who inadvertently put the ball into his own net, putting Hume ahead once again. Cooper’s skill and determination had played a crucial role in securing the win for his team.
It is great news for Hume City fans and Vanuatu fotoball to see Mitch Cooper back in action for Hume City after his injury layoff. His return will be a huge boost for the team as they look to continue their good form and push for a high finish in the NPL Victoria table – where they sit 7th now. Cooper’s ability to create chances and score goals will be vital to Hume City’s success, and his presence on the field will no doubt be welcomed by both his teammates and the club’s supporters.
