Harry Kewell has quit Melbourne Victory, citing personal reasons for leaving the Hyundai A-League club.
It is understood Kewell was on the verge of signing a new two-year contract, in excess of $1 million a season, but made the stunning decision to reject Victory's offer for family reasons.
Kewell's Mother-in-Law is ill, so he is going back to UK.
The Australian A league is League one standard. I saw Kewell play the odd time. He was above the standard of the league (and better than Brett Emerton who also plays A-League).
Doubt if he is PD’s type, or in the Latics pay bracket, but he will be another of the unemployed UK footballers looking for a job this coming season.
A moneybags league 1 club might make a punt on him.
I don’t think he could do a full English season without breaking down
