Stuart Musialik, the young midfielder with the golden touch, is now ex-pected to stay with the Newcastle Jets.
While the Jets will look towards go-to-man Joel Griffiths for the goals, Musialik’s distribution will be the real key for Newcastle in the A-League grand final against Central Coast at Sydney Football Stadium.
Musialik has given an indication through his new agent Tom Brooks that he will stay in his home town.
Jets football director Remo Nogarotto said that initial talks with Brooks had been very positive.
“There is goodwill with both sides,” Nogarotto said. “We have agreed how the framework will be put together. We decided to put the pencils down until after the grand final and pick them up again on Monday.”
The Jets are also hoping to secure Ruben Zadkovich, who has been released by Sydney FC and who also has Brooks as his manager.
“I’d like to have the two players signed up before they leave for San Francisco on Wednesday with Australia,” Nogarotto said.
Nogarotto remains confident that Tarek Elrich and Adam D’Apuzzo, who are also in the Olympic squad for the game against Mexico on March 2, will be wearing the Jets’ colours again after the grand final.
