    Another blow for fans of the Phoenix football club

    Another blow for fans of the Phoenix football club


    After their dream season came to an end with a 2-1 loss to Melbourne Victory in the second leg of their A-League semifinal - it's been confirmed star striker Oskar Zawada won't be returning for Wellington next season.

    Zawada scored 22 goals in his two season with the Nix - and coach Giancarlo Italiano says the reasons for the Polish frontman's depature are two-fold.



    However - Italiano is confident they'll be able to re-sign All Whites attacker Kosta Barbarouses.
