Sorry to ask but I need someone to explain it to me. How is it they are able to use Tessel Middag import spot? I understand she is injured but she would still be technically on contract no? Or do we only have 4 visas currently (injured and not injured). Half a Pint
Bev Priestman says Wellington Phoenix are hoping to make two new signings before the December transfer window closes. Wants a midfielder and a forward and says one deal is close to being completed. They can use Tessel Middag’s import spot.

Media opportunity below. IIRC this is earlier in the week than usually they usually do coaches and players on different days
Wednesday, January 7 Phoenix women’s head coach Bev Priestman and a player will be available for all-in interviews before training at NZCIS ahead of the team’s round 12 Ninja A-League match against Melbourne City at Porirua Park on Saturday.
From a quick internet scout - Woods started off as more of a defensive player but during her time in the US collage system, she pushed further forward. Looks like she is now most at home up front and as an attacking midfielder. I can't find much on her time in Iceland but she scored a goal every two games(ish) in her last season at Kentucky. Sounds like a handy player with plenty of potential. Hope we see the best of her.
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
yeah I can't understand how Jenkins keeps missing out..watched her play v auckland and just so dominant and such a skilled baller. Cant imagine the Turkish league where Jenkins did well is far below Iceland..possibly even better quality.
Visa players are always important in the ALW, we saw how much the Nix struggled in the first two seasons where we didn't have any. I have no problem with us using our full complement of five.
That said, is there still space for Jenkins? She's a good striker and our options up there are currently just Samba, Main and Woods now?
An MRI scan has shown Samba has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft in her right knee, and will be sidelined for nine to 12 months.
She sustained the injury late in the second half of the round 11 match against… pic.twitter.com/DIcTldNgqU
Reading the full release it says "It is the second contact ACL injury of the three and due to the significant level of force there is nothing that could have been done to prevent it" I can't remember who though between Alyssa and Tessel was the other due to force ect. ballane
Maaaaaaatt
Fudge confirmed that Samba is gone for the season. Another ACL, what is it with those for female players?
Agree far too many happening but think Sambas is a little different, hers is from contact unlike Alyssa and i think Tessels
