I agree. Porta never really wanted to return to Australia to play in the A-League. He strikes me as one of the players who were raised in Australia but then spent so much time elsewhere that they never "called Australia home" much afterwards. Example that comes to mind is Joe Didulica, Croatian national team goalkeeper, but there were others (someone pretty good in Serie A, but the name escapes me).
Anyway, I am digressing.... I think Porta would aim for a gig elsewhere than Welly since he's not even looking at a HAL club in the West Island that I know of.
