Former Sydney United striker and Young Socceroo Franco Parisi has been touted as one of the most promising signings by Newcastle United Jets. Parisi, who played 58 National Soccer League (NSL) games and scored 14 goals - agreed a one-year contract after knocking back an offer from Swiss club FC Baden. He is already showing his talents, so far already scoring in almost every trial match, including a goal against Adelaide United in Coffs Harbour and a great performance against the Central Coast Mariners at the Club World Championships in Gosford earlier in 2005. Parisi believes that the Jets will be a dominant force in this year’s A-League, already having a number of former Sydney United team mates by his side such as Labinot Haliti and Liam Reddy. |
