Now Persipura sign Aussie?
Aidan Ormond
On-loan Perth Glory striker Matt Mayora is set to sign with Indonesian side Persipura Jayapura, a club which has qualified for the 2010 Asian Champions League.
Mayora, 23, jets out to Jakarta on Wednesday for a medical with the club and has a one-year contract on the table.
He has been released early from his six-week contract at Glory after joining from NSW premier league club Sydney Olympic. Mayora was the 2009 NSW Premier League Golden Boot winner.
Mayora's Manager John Denison of Entourage Football told au.fourfourtwo.com: "Matthew is an exciting talent with a genuine knack for goal scoring.
"I truly believe he will be a huge success with the Persipura club where his strength and speed will be welcomed"
In the Indonesian league, Mayora is set join fellow Aussie Robbie Gaspar who's at Persema and former Glory striker Adrian Trinidad who has been playing at Persiba Balikpapan.
COMMENT - taken from 442 in Australia. Trinidad was released from Persiba while Persebaya have signed Josh Maguire. Given that Jayapura is something like a 5 or 6 hour flight from Jakarta I'm sure he will feel right at home here...all those long flights will do him good.
His nearest game will be the Papuan derby against Persiwa, a town only accessible by plane!
