The Newcastle Jets off season recruitment drive has suffered a blow, with highly regarded defender Adam D’Apuzzo granted a release from the club this afternoon.

He’s now hoping to earn a contract with Sydney FC, who are about to embark on their Asian Champions League campaign.
D’Apuzzo was offered a new deal to stay in Newcastle, but says the lure of playing at home or possibly overseas in the future was too strong.
