The Jets have slipped to second-last on the A-League ladder, ahead of only Melbourne Heart. They have not won a game since December 20.
Interim head coach Clayton Zane said he hoped the Jets's new signing would turn things around.

The Jets will play Wellington Phoenix this Sunday, February 9, at Hunter Stadium at 5pm.
