Question for Tony probably. Isn't this the guy we were linked with a few years back as a teenager? One "t" in Mathew before i get hammered. Signed for Brighton. $3.5 million. Something about him seems familiar.

We were linked with him when he was leaving Central Coast Mariners. Not sure if it was an offical link or just rumours.

Yes, I seem to remember us being linked with him.

This article from 2013 says we wanted him for a trial: http://www.smh.com.au/sport/a-league/en ... 217zf.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Definitely tried to at least get him on trial. To be fair to us I think he's massively out of his depth.

Thanks for this thread. I thought we'd been linked with him but couldn't find anything.

I was under the impression we had him down at Gawthorpe for a trial but decided against it. May have been work permit issues at the time. Good keeper.

Great acquisition, one for the future and a modern keeper at that. Good with his feet.

Best sweeper keeper in Fm17 in the 20's.

It was summer 2012. We were certainly intending bringing him in on trial but not certain it happened in the end.

Think he opted to go for a trial at Spurs
