Looks as though Jacob Tratt will sign for Wellington, making him the fifth NPL player to sign for an A-League club this off-season. with James Virgili still being assessed by Newcastle.
Kenny Athiu - two year deal from Heidelberg United
Dylan Wenzell-Halls - one year deal from Western Pride FC
Joe Gauci - scholarship deal from West Torrens Birkalla
Matt Millar - (Guessing) one year deal from South Melbourne FC
Edit: Hakoah City forward and Kiwi Andre De Jong is also close to negotiating a deal with the Phoenix after being involved in pre-season friendlies.

one time wanderers academy starlet Alusine Fofanah is now playing for Rydalmere Lions in NPLNSW2. really thought he was going places when he was in the A-League.
Speaking of ex Wanderers academy starlets, Manny Gonzalez has scored 16 in 19 appearances for Mt Druitt Rangers as they look to consolidate promotion.
ex Glory fullback Jeremy Walker is back playing with Green Gully in NPLVIC again after he was let go presumably by Poppa.

Kolner may have a better idea, my guess would be he was help by Perry Moustakas who is a close friend and lives between Sydney and Cyprus.

The lack of opportunities in the A-League is starting to become pretty noticeable with a few NPL players moving to overseas leagues in order to further their careers, lately we've seen.
Dejan Pandurevic (Manly United) -- FK Zemun (Serbian top flight)
Peter Makrillos (Rockdale City) -- Panionios (Greek top flight)
George Timotheou (Sydney Olympic) -- FC Schalke II (Schalke reserves)
Caleb Mikulic (Melbourne Knights) -- FK Austria Wien (Austrian top flight)
Yaren Sozer (Pascoe Vale FC) -- Istanbul Basaksehir (Turkish top flight)
also add to a lesser extent
Quivi Fowler (Wollongong Wolves) -- FC Dordrecht (Dutch second div) - already had credit in Netherlands with his time at Vitesse
James Baldacchino (Wollongong Wolves) -- Maltese top flight - didn't last long
Jordan Figon (Rockdale City) -- Cyprus - yet to see what tier club he'll sign to.
Max Burgess (Sydney Olympic) -- Portuguese second tier - didn't play much, back at Olympic.
also discounting some of the older players going to ASEAN teams
It's still yet to be seen how successful these guys will be overseas, but gee. I hope they do well just so A-League clubs get a kick up the bum.
Knowing A-League clubs, the players they used to have that went overseas via the NPL, will claim they offered them all the opportunities in the world.

Wellington seem to have backflipped on Jacob Tratt, saying they need a few more weeks to see if they'll sign him.

Half-time in all matches currently underway.
The Avondale - Marconi game seemed a little cagey.
James Andrew loves the FFA cup
Elvis has been ok, but this game is calling for Towns and Zinni who are on the bench for Avondale.

Canberra FC down to Broadmeadow Magic tonight 4-1. Bit of a shame perhaps showing the lack of quality in the nation's capital? (No disrespect to NNSW clubs but thought Canberra would be rather similar in quality)
Canberra FC still has Kofi Danning at the club as well as Jordan Thurtell now.
Another to look out for is Englishman Thomas James who is probably the best player in the competition and has been for the last few years now. 26 year old now but could see him maybe making a mid table NSW or VIC side if he was to go out of the ACT.
Stephen Domenici has also returned after an unsuccessful stint in the Illawarra league Scored 2 in 9? I believe, compare that to previous seasons in ACT where he's scored 20+ goals. Once again showing the quality of local football in Canberra unfortunately.
Plenty of youngsters looking quite decent and could see having a bright future if they develop right - Michael Kita, FInn Jurak, Mikey Katsoulis, Sam Habtemariam, Bul Juach, Augustine Bangura, James Fletcher, Ben Obst (+ a few more) Also Daniel Fabrizio who I believe is out for the whole season with an ACL injury.
Special mentions as well to Olaide Yinka-Kehinde, Aisosa Ihegie, Segun Adam, Michael Rinaudo, Nicolas Villafane who I've heard good things about too.
One game each round is streamed live on BarTV Sports on YouTube and Facebook. If anyone was interested in checking out

Liam Wooding, 25 from MetroStars is on trial with the Phoenix after a standout season so far. he's played 18 times scored 3 goals from midfield and looked very composed whenever on the ball. hopefully he does well.

Players to look out for tonight, MD2
Alec Urosevski - Rockdale - One of the brightest attacking threats in the NPL NSW 10+ goals this season. Still only 24, spent time with Sydney FC in his junior years.
Sean Ellis - Heidelberg - Best player for Heidelberg 100%. He's 28 but, he's quality.
Josh Taylor - Cairns FC - 20+ goals this season in NPLQLD. brilliant finisher.

Very impressed with Toufic Alameddine tonight not sure if he plays like that usually or just stepped up to the occasion?
Only 24, could see some A-League clubs keeping tabs on him after tonight?

Jordan Murray looks set to become an A-League player in the coming weeks. CCM are the front-runners 99% sure, but Sydney have been keeping tabs apparently as well.

Couldn't be any happier for Jordan Murray!! This is big for him, no doubt he'll get plenty of game-time with Simon just ahead of him purely based off of experience. But I honestly see him banging in at least 5 goals would be a successful season in my eyes, considering the talent behind him.
Josh MacDonald is a weird one, he's showed he has good technical ability, but he never seems to have that cut-throat end product as a CAM. Hopefully this environment will do wonders for the both of 'em.
Tratt, Wooding and De Jong could still sign for AL clubs, also expect some GK's to arrive at some clubs, Newcastle and Sydney the expected destinations. An exciting season ahead for NPL fans.

+xjosh macdonald is nothing but rubbish, bench player at wolves this year opinion noted, over the past two seasons i'd have to agree with you. But maybe that environment just didn't do it for him. Now that he's at the pinnacle of Aus Football, your performances can change with the increase in demand. But in saying that, yes his highlight packages aren't overly convincing.

De Jong is class from the few games I’ve seen him in, can’t beleive Wellington haven’t given him a go.
Also Yianni Nicolaou from Marconi has been given a lot of game time for an 18 year old and looks a good prospect.

Six confirmed NPL -> A-League players confirmed so far for 2018-19, with at least two more deals seemingly to go through. This is a much better turn around from last season where, one player, Lewis Italiano, went on loan to Bulleen Lions and then went back to Wellington when the A-League season started again.
Kenny Athiu (MV) - two year deal from Heidelberg United
Dylan Wenzell-Halls (BR) - one year deal from Western Pride FC
Joe Gauci (CCM) - scholarship deal from West Torrens Birkalla
Matt Millar (CCM) - (Guessing) one year deal from South Melbourne FC
Jordan Murray (CCM) - one year deal from APIA Leichardt
Josh MacDonald (CCM) - one year deal from Wollongong Wolves
This is what should be happening every A-League off season. Give players a chance to impress, the off-season goes for 4-5 months ffs. It's not like there are time restraints.

Another piece of interesting news is that Bai Antoniou has signed for Cypriot top flight team Olki Oroklini. Who finished 7th last season. that makes him the fourth NPL player to sign a professional contract with a top tier European club this NPL season and the sixth player to sign a European contract in general..

So tonights players to look out for
James Xydias (Bentleigh Greens) 20yo Fullback. Seems to have that knack of knowing when to advance into the attacking third and finding himself in a goalscoring situation.
Ryan Scott (Bentleigh Greens) 23yo GK. Always a stand out on the big occasions. very passionate player.
Velibor Mitrovic/ Matt Thurtell. (Bentleigh Greens) Both in good goalscoring form in the NPLVIC.
Nicholas Panetta (GC Knights) 20yo attacker, scored a double in the U17wc against Argentina. released from Roar two years ago.
Gerrie Sylaidos (Northcote City) 19yo Attacker. Former City player. Technically superb, very unlucky to be released by City, still imho one for the future.
Brayden Mann (Devonport) Brilliant striker has won leading goalscorer in the TASNPL for 5 years or something ridiculous.
Can't say much about Hellenic, don't know enough about them.
