Song Jin-Hyung was training with the Jets yesterday and will be assessed “for a week or 10 days” and has already impressed Gary van Egmond in his initial training session describing him as a typical Korean player who is “very quick and explosive”. He showed some “nice touches” at training.

Song is a 20 year-old attacking midfielder who plays for FC Seoul and has represented his country at the U20 World Cup. He is a free agent and the club is looking into the logistics of getting him out here for the rest of this season, and signing him up for next season as long as van Egmond sees him as a player that he wants to have in the team.

van Egmond was cautious in saying that he doesnt want to “upset the applecart” by bringing in someone so close to the eve of the A-League finals. An international clearance would have to be sought which can take a while to be granted.

He speaks limited english, but van Egmond will sign him as long as he going to be effective in the final third. He would be drafted in this season on an injury waiver for Steve Eagleton.
