BREAKING NEWS: FORMER Benfica and Melbourne Victory starlet Kaz Patafta has signed for Newcastle Jets in a one year deal.

Jets coach Gary van Egmond confirmed the swoop to au.fourfourtwo.com this morning.

Canberra-born Patafta 19, has agreed to a one year deal with Newcastle and bolsters Van Egmond’s squad as they prepare to embark on their defence of the Hyundai A-league crown and their Asian Champions League campaign.

Patafta is an Australian Under 17 and Under 20 National Team representative who played with the Melbourne Victory during the 2007-2008 season after being loaned out by Portuguese giants Benfica.

“We are excited to have Kaz in our playing group for the forthcoming year,” said van Egmond.
