Adelaide United winger Ben Halloran's transfer to South Korea has been confirmed with the 29-year-old moving to K-League outfit FC Seoul for an undisclosed fee.
The Phoenix are through to the last eight of the FFA Cup for the first time after scoring three goals inside an eventful first 25 minutes to beat NPL club Avondale.
Wellington Phoenix are pleased to announce that talented midfielder Luka Prso has signed a one-year contract with the Club, after negotiating a release from one of Croatia’s largest clubs, NK Osijek.
The 6’3” 20-year-old Prso (pronounced Pru-sha) played last season on loan for the Newcastle Jets in the Isuzu UTE A-League, making 14 starts over 17 appearances and scoring his maiden goal on 13 March 2021 against Sydney FC. Prso also led the Jets squad in fouls drawn per match (1.53) and was second in total fouls drawn with 26 – just behind veteran Roy O’Donovan.

The Western gaffer had seriously toyed with the idea of deploying the altered defensive front during the following pre-season but, with the disjointed and chaotic nature of the 2020-21 fixture list looming, opted to dance with the one that brought him once the campaign began.
That was, at least, until Monday evening; as Western downed the Jets 2-0 in a manner that indicated change was afoot.
