How many players from the Nike squad have got pro contracts over the last 5 years.... not many, most end up like that Swedish striker who ended up in NZ this season.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, hes in the second team, lets wait and see if he turns out to be Nelsen (successful) or Payne (see NZFC)
Everything I said still stands, why would Melbourne sign an unproven striker without a single professional game behind him and lose an import spot at the same time?
Good luck to the kid, I wish him a successful pro career and one for NZ.
