Stensness has now officially signed for CC Mariners. One year deal

So much for his European dream ? he got given some seriously bad advice after the WC. 

Nothing wrong with a young player backing his ability. Luckily for him, he could fall back on his Aussie citizenship to get a deal somewhere else.

This means there are now 19 players contracted on senior deals who are NZ eligible in the A-League this season.

Whilst I agree there's no issue with that, he wasn't even one of the better performing players in that team.  It was one goal that I presume he was trying to live off.  As I said, I don't blame him, he clearly got bad advice. He should have signed on with the nix another year or two and then tried. It's a shame for him, that's all.

But you could also say he might get more game time at CCM right now he'd be 5th in the pecking order at CB and at least 4th at DM

Fair, but most of our CB/CDM signings were made after he left. Would imagine that Devlin or one of the Handy Prem guys wouldn't have been signed if he took up the offer put in front of him.

Still, congratulations to him. I must say, CCM's squad is looking SO much better than last season. Just need some of their promising youth players to kick on, and kick out Matt Simon!
