CLEAN OUT BEGINS AT THE NEWCASTLE JETS

New coach Ernie Merrick has wasted no time reshaping the Newcastle Jets, with a host of off-contract players told they won’t be offered deals.
Local product Andrew Hoole heads the list, which also includes Daniel Mullen, Mateo Poljak, back-up keeper Tomislav Arcaba and Chinese attacker Ma Leilei.
Ben Kantarovski has survived the cull.
It’s understood representatives for Socceroos Nathan Burns and Mark Milligan have gauged the Jets’ interest… but Merrick says he won’t be rushed into any signings.
