Let's get the Jet Ski gang back together!
Club weren’t keen though were they? Seem to recall he was never offered a new deal , but guess it would have been down to $
Yeah but when he left (along with Steinmann & Taylor) for India, the A League was a very uncertain place in 2020. Future is a lot brighter downunder now. Plus Davila leaving has freed up some salary cap dollars.
Is the Nix and a 26 game season, more attractive than a 46 game winter slog in The Championship/League One, given he's been pretty injury prone last few years? Would he insist on a min 2 year deal (is 34 next January), before agreeing to bring his whanau all the way back to NZ?
If Hemed's gone I'd re-sign a (fit) Hooper quick smart. Break the annoying pattern of last few seasons, of starting first few months off slow whilst a new visa striker gets up to speed.
I'm sure Taylor is in his ear! Ball likely also.
