Quote:After being left in the dark for months by Sydney FC about a new contract, Sky Blues defender Shannon Cole has conceded it's highly unlikely he'll be offered a new deal. For the moment, he's flown to the US with his girlfriend - whom he met while playing college football in Schoolcraft, Michigan - to visit her family. While the 27-year-old is still very open to a new deal from Sydney, he's not getting his hopes up. The former Socceroo is casting his net across America for a deal with a Major League Soccer team. Meanwhile, Adrian Zahra, whose career was almost ended by Kevin Muscat's infamous tackle, has just joined A-League runners-up Perth Glory, as has Gold Coast forward Chris Harold.

He can play multiple roles, and chip in with goals, too. And he's on the cheap, he's not on very much coin as I understand it. Given he went to College for a short time stateside (where he met his missus) I could see him getting signed by a lower league MLS club. Maybe a Portland or NASL team.
