Australian to play in the Premier League: Full list"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas Herrington has joined an exclusive club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 18-year-old made his Premier League debut as newly promoted Hull City hosted Manchester United on Saturday night, little more than a week after completing his record-breaking move from Colorado Rapids.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As he stepped onto the pitch at the MKM Stadium just after the hour mark, Herrington became the latest Australian to feature in the world\u2019s biggest domestic competition \u2013 and the third-youngest to do so, behind only Harry Kewell and Aiden O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUPERCOACH EPL: <a

Schwarzer, Lucas Neill and Brett Emerton, Australians were once a regular presence in England\u2019s top flight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That production line has slowed considerably in recent years, making Herrington\u2019s arrival at Hull all the more significant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But just how many Australians have actually played in the Premier League?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Football360 has gone back through the competition\u2019s history to compile the complete list of Australians to make a Premier League appearance, ordered chronologically from the competition\u2019s inaugural 1992-93 season through to today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s every Australian to have played in the Premier League \u2013
