After being dumped twice by Sydney FC, Dubbo born-and-bred defender Jacob Tratt has been thrown an A-League lifeline by Wellington Phoenix.

Tratt, 22, has been signed by Ernie Merrick as a right back option after impressing in Saturday's pre-season trial victory over Central Coast Mariners at Knox Grammar School.

Hmm....Well, have to be honest and say it seems like another stop gap option. RB looks like it will be a weak position again. Also- we only seem to sign young guys- Manny had a bit of experience when he was signed right? Hope to be proved wrong. Not sure he'll be much improvement on Gulley, Louis et al...

EDIT: just been watching a few highlights and wondering when WELnix are going to splash the cash and just sign Seamus Coleman already. Be our missing piece of the puzzle.
