Former Joeys skipper Kaz Patafta has linked up with A-League champions Newcastle Jets for the 2008/09 season.
The midfielder joined Melbourne Victory on loan from Portuguese side Benfica last season.
However, it turned out to be a frustrating stint at the Victory, being involved only in 14 games nearly all of them off the bench.
Patafta recently featured for Melbourne in four AFC Champions League group matches.
Yet, the 19-year-old made the decision to switch to the EnergyAustralia Stadium as a free agent, after being released from his contract with Benfica.
“It’s been a great season in Melbourne and I’ve really enjoyed my time here,” Patafta told The World Game.
“I’ve learnt a lot both on and off the field from everyone at Victory and I’ve been happy living in this great city for the past 12 months."
“At this point in time it’s important for me to aim to be playing regularly, which I believe is the only way to improve at senior level," he added.
“I’m really looking forward to a new challenge and trying to prove and cement myself as a regular first-team player.”
