Another young Aussie chasing their dreams to be a Professional Footballer, now tragically taken from that journey forevermore.

Very sad that this poor young kid couldn't pull through after the devastating lightning strike at training in Malaysia under a month ago.

Many condolences to his family, friends and his team mates.

Australian goalkeeper Petrovski dies after being struck by lightning:

Australian goalkeeper Stefan Petrovski has died in hospital after the 18 year-old was struck by lightning while training with Malaysian club Melaka United on 5 April.

Lightning struck the goal posts which Petrovski was standing next to at the time and had been in a coma since the accident, but tragically passed away on Sunday.

The Malaysian club took to Facebook to share the news and pay tribute to the young Australian goalkeeper, saying: "Melaka United have lost one of their valuable gem as their reserve goalkeeper Marko Stefan Petrovski.

Football Federation of Australia also expressed their condolences after Petrovski's death.

"On behalf of the Australian football community, FFA sends their deepest condolences to the Petrovski family, friends and team mates," the FFA said in a statement.

Petrovski's team-mate Muhd Afiq Azuan was also stuck by lightning at the time of the accident but after he was admitted to hospital, the 21 year-old eventually made a full recovery.

Petrovski joined Melaka from Sydney Olympic, who tweeted a heart-felt tribute for their former goalkeeper.
