Think we can all agree this mould of player is the future of A-League imports for the non-loaded teams. Proven time and time again, ever since the days of Broich, Berisha et al
Helps that the Nix have an *awesome* recent track record of player development - foreign agents and players are no doubt taking notice
Even though this is speculation I feel like it must be pretty much also confirmed as the player we were talking to so unless talks break down or they're just waiting to announce it I feel like this will be the guy. Watched a couple of videos seems more like the Davila type compared to Kraev but much quicker and more powerful. He also looks very one-footed so having him on the right cutting in to shoot will be dangerous. Will be similar to Kraev where he'll either flop or impress a lot.
I've taken to searching 'Wellington Phoenix' in Twitter every couple of days. With any luck, some journalist will have tweeted out about a player getting a release to join us. I think that's what happened with when David Ball first signed here?
Leigh was very good for a few years, got into gambling, lost his way and hasn't really recovered. Complete change of scenery could be what he needs? Who knows?

At least he hasn't gone down the same road as his former Celtic strike partner Anthony Stokes.
From my experiences, you can't swing a swing a cat without hitting some sort of gambling advertising & then you have pokies everywhere.
Australia and NZ are gambling purgatory compared to the UK where bookies and pokies abound everywhere (except in the pubs and clubs!).
Some time since you visited i see pokies far more frequently than i did when i visited UK 5 years ago.Plenty of pubs and clubs have both TABs and poker machines. No where near the "gambling purgatory" you claim we are.
Apparently turned down by a Scottish League 2 club, couldn’t score to save his life in Scottish League 1, word is he’s a bit of a prick and even though he was cleared of any criminality, his Instagram messages to a 15 year old girl are very gross. Big no thanks from me, I’d rather Waineo as our main striker than Leigh “Finished” Griffiths
Edit: fits the bill perfectly to be Rudan’s 5th VISA if Rodwell leaves though

I think if he does go to Australia he will most likely join Sydney FC who are looking for another striker since Bobo retired at the end of last season. I think I also saw something before Sydney announced any signings saying they apparently wanted a striker with Premier League experience. Leigh does fit that description.
Edit: Just found out he was only on the bench once for Wolverhampton in the Premier League but never made an actual appearance, my bad.

I couldn't see any a-league club going near Griffith's, least of all a cashed up club like Sydney

Western is set to lose Prijovic cuz he wants to go home, so they are another possibility.

He is also a friend of Jason Cummings, so possibly the Mariners
Had a quick stalk of old mate Yan Sasse’s Instagram. As well as the Phoenix, he also follows the former Sydney and WSW player Alexander Baumjohann and CCM’s Moresche. He’s never played with or against either of them, but both he and Baumjohann played at Cortiba fairly close together, and the same with Moresche and Vasco da Gama.
Those three accounts are the only A-League related ones he follows from what I could see so to me that sounds like the bro has been getting some advice about the league from some players he may have mutual friends with.
Positive signs, let’s hope we can smash Devonport on Wednesday, get some minutes in Bozhi’s legs and then come home to a Sasse, striker and (maybe even) Reid announcement.
Would not be happy if the club went for Griffiths. A grade a pikey cod. Hateful character and not what you need around the dressing room. He had the skills but hasn’t shown it in many a year. He’d be right up Rudans alley.
