There has been no announcement yet on Callan. Who knows if AFC sign Sakai, Elliot may want to look elsewhere. Though Sakai has only played 9 (6 starts) of 17 J League games this season to date for Urawa Reds. And at 34, he maybe getting a little injury prone.
Callan's signed.
Talk of this Sakai lad coming in as a CB, but I don't see how that would work given he's played bugger all at CB in a 400+ game career...
Very good, close sources.
But like I said earlier, I won't divulge names if I'm asked to keep details under wraps. Have had the confirmation of one player tonight (who has already been strongly suggested in this thread) but it just turns out I didn't read my messages closely enough the first time I was told. 😅
I may post them up on here just prior to an announcement, but for the most part, especially for those earning their first pro deal, they should be able to enjoy that moment & the limelight that comes with it.
Here's a tidbit for you though. Northern League selection players (I think that means invitational) will get to show their wares in front of coaches in the next 3-4 weeks in the run in to the start of pre season.

There hasn't been an announcement about Callan as far as I can see.
If you know for a fact, how do you know? and can you drop any other names?

Apart from the 2022/23 season, when yes Elliot was the regular starting RB under Talay (Payne at CB), Elliot was in & out of the Nix first 11.
21 starts 22/23 12 starts all seasons prior
And of course either time he's gone overseas (Greece & Scotland) it's been zero mins total.
