The Central Coast Mariners playing squad will take on somewhat of a reggae flavour, following the arrival of Jamaican international Wolry Wolfe on a short-term injury replacement contract.
The left-sided midfielder has been added to Lawrie McKinna’s lineup to cover for defender Shane Huke, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since the completion of the club’s inaugural Asian Champions League campaign.
"While it’s obviously bad luck for Shane, it gives us the chance to bring in and assess a player of Wolry’s quality, and we’re looking forward to having him on board for the next six weeks at least," said Mariners executive chairman Lyall Gorman.
Wolfe arrives at Bluetongue Stadium fresh from a championship winning stint at the Mariners’ Hungarian Blades World partner club Ferencvaros, where he signed after impressing scouts at Sheffield United.
"Wolry comes highly recommended by our partners at Sheffield United, he is a Jamaican international, and we’re hopeful he’ll add a new dimension to the Mariners squad," Gorman said.
On the way to racking up his 14 senior caps for Jamaica’s "Reggae Boyz", Wolfe began his career with Jamaican Premier League outfit Hazard United (which had a name change to Portmore United in 2003) as a 19 year old in 2000, before making a move to Trinidad and Tobago’s professional league with Joe Public FC.
He made a brief return to Portmore before heading back to Joe Public, when Ferencvaros came knocking.
"He’s come in and looked OK at training after stepping off a 40-hour flight, he’ll train with the boys this week and we’ll see how he goes," said Mariners Football Manager Lawrie McKinna.
"Obviously disappointing news that we’re going to be without Hukey for six weeks, but it will give him a chance to fully recover from his knee injury, and also give Wolry a chance to show us what he’s got.
"Depending on how he goes, we’ll assess his performances and make a decision on where we go with him in the coming weeks," McKinna said.
Wolfe is in contention to join his new teammates in the Mariners’ squad, when they play Perth Glory at Canberra Stadium this Friday, 4 September. Kick-off is at 8pm. Tickets for this match are available online here or by phoning 132 849.
