"Without the team work, I couldn't have scored 20 goals. The primary goal was to win the league and one of my other goals was to get 20 goals in all competitions," Imrie says.
He scored one in the Knockout Cup to up his total to 21.
"We play quite an aggressive, pressing kind of game and that sets the tone. We talk about it as a team of 11," he says.
His favourite goal of the season was a header which saw Sacred Heart go 2-1 up against St Kentigern. That secured the league title.
Coach Danny Hay has been a huge influence on Imrie's career, as have 2015 Sacred Heart strikers Connor Probert and Dylan Bull. Imrie scored eight goals from the wing position in 2015 as that duo had the strikers' slots sewn up.
"Danny has had the biggest influence on me. He took me under his wing in year 10 and took me to the nationals for experience. In year 11 he pushed me to start. He doesn't accept anything other than 100 per cent work ethic."
The relationship with the former All White goes beyond the Sacred Heart boundaries. Hay took the New Zealand Under 17s, of which Imrie was a part, to the 2015 World Cup in Chile. There Imrie scored the most important, and certainly most high profile, goal of his career, a late volley to help New Zealand edge Paraguay.
Next year, Imrie has his eyes on a possible US scholarship, following in the footsteps of Probert, now at Kentucky. In the meantime, he plays premier footy for Western Springs.
The game is central to Imrie's life, but it is not the only focus. He is also a good student, which helps immensely at this time of year when exams start looming.
"I like being busy. If I don't have football, I just get bored."
