JETS CONCEDE SMELTZ IS LIKELY TO HEAD WEST

Meanwhile in breaking news, the Newcastle Jets have conceded they’re no chance of signing striker Shane Smeltz, with the New Zealand international likely to accept a big money offer from Perth.

The Jets say they simply couldn’t match the Glory’s offer and will now take their time searching for a high profile name to sign as their international marquee.

Coach Branko Culina is set to travel to South America and Europe in the near future.
