Ernie Merrick brought Matt Ridenton to the Jets as a visa player!
Gillion shone in the OFC Pro League and forced his way back into AFC's ALM team. Sounds like Auckland want to keep him.
I've always thought his 'lack of final product/head not looking up' weaknesses could be worked on with good coaching. That same criticim was levelled at an early Nix, Ben Old. Knowing that Gillion has come into pro football at a later age than someone like Old.
Not saying Liam G is going to end up in France or anything, but is still some hope he's going to be an above average A League player.
