Aussies use 2 SA players

Perth Glory include two South African-born players in their squad

Posted: 25 July 2012 Time: 02:38 pm

Australian side Perth Glory coach Ian Ferguson confirms that he has included two South African-born players in his squad for the new season.

Ferguson said both defender Storm Roux and goalkeeper Devon Spence have been promoted to the senior team after spending a few years in their development academy.

Glory are in South Africa where they are having their pre-season training in Nelspruit and Ferguson has described both Roux and Spence as great prospects for the future.

"We have brought two South African-born players with the team; they have been promoted from our development side.

“Roux is a defender. He is good on the feet and has got a great engine.

"I believe Devon will develop into a great goalkeeper, he commands the 18-area well and is a good shot stopper," he adds.

Both players have not yet represented Australia at national team level and still can play for South Africa.

@ JOEL NATALILO SANTANA

Chief you are out of order, you suffering from verbal diarrhoea . You cannot come here and utter nonsense. On behalf of Perth Glory and all other soccer loving people please accept our apology. We do not associate ourselves with such people.

We assure you that this JOEL NATALILO SANTANA character will be taken to a proper school where he will finish his Grade 10 and Matric, and he must refrain from attending useless political gatherings.

Kind Regards

Have we ever beaten Ausies in a competetive match? Ajax Cape Town almost beat Man U did that mean we have equal or better players that them? We failed to beat both Sierra leaone,Niger, Euthopia and Botswana does should that mean they have better soccer than us? Cummon guys grow up this is the mentality that is self defeating, I for one wish Gordon will look everywhere and at everyone that plays good soccer at any club all corners of the world and pick the best to represent my beloved, i want competetionin the squad. Who knows what might have happened if we had Somma,May,Furman during 2010 world cup
