It would be a good move and should see him get game time.
Thought he definitely showed enough for a championship move but as you said, game time will be close to certain at this level

I thought the first two did well, not sure why they’re getting rid of them. Maybe the Nix have some more good stuff planned. They’ve really risen a lot lately as part of a broader rise in the quality of the remaining Dub teams. I think it’s part of why Sydney are shit now, other players caught up and we didn’t stay ahead but hopefully we’ve learnt our lesson now. Wanderers are just a terribly run club.Nix confirm women's departures

Which league are Barnsley playing in next season?
Don't want any young Aussies who are potential Roos going to League 2 and wasting their time, like Jake Hollman last season.
I think Jets' Clayton Taylor and Eli Adams should have been in senior Roo discussions this season.
I wonder where o/s?Thank You, Anthony Caceres

Like I said, very talented player and he will get consistent minutes (if the body holds up) but brissy won’t be the right environment for him to prosper. (unless they recruit experience in midfield)
Brissy’s engine room is very young (stajcic is the most experienced and he’s 24/25) it’s a long off season though and who knows, maybe brissy will sign an experienced European pro to play next to him.
I mean they seem to be the only club signing players regularly this off season lol
