“It’s a massive boost and I think it just shows how well I’m doing in the league in my first season here,” Cacace said. “I believe that I can go a long way here in Europe and hopefully it keeps going.

After just 19 appearances for fast-reviving Belgium Jupiler Pro League Sint Truiden VV, the 20-year-old wingback is already being targeted by Juventus for their U-23 side, and is allowing himself to daydream of a future in his ancestral home.
Recruited by former Sint-Truidense coach Kevin Muscat - who was sacked after just 14 games at the helm back in December - Cacace has powered on, lighting up the left flank with his attacking exuberance, just as he did in the A-League with Wellington Phoenix.
“I came here knowing the coach Kevin and having (a long-standing) relationship with (then assistant) Luc Trani,” he said.
