Cooper exit frees up another Jets spot

Jan 4, 2017 - 4:13 AM Newcastle have freed up a second spot on their A-League roster after agreeing to a mutual contract termination with midfielder Mitch Cooper.

The 22-year-old, who made 33 league appearances in four years, follows young attacker Radovan Pavicevic out the door just in time for the opening of the January transfer window.

Coach Mark Jones has made no secret he hoped to let go of two players so he could dip into the market for new blood, having already lost out on Shane Smeltz and likely Mark Bridge.
