Wannabe scout and The Football Sack contributor Tom Moxey takes a look at the former stars (or flops) of the A-League and find out where they are in their footballing careers since departing the league.
7. Diego (also formerly Wellington Phoenix) – Since leaving Wellington he has played for Charleston Battery in the third division in the United States and is now making a living playing for Thai side TOT Sport Club.
8. Lloyd Owusu – The man with more clubs than Larry King has marriages has been at six clubs in two years and after all that he has ended back in Adelaide for White City and also runs a football academy. His last club overseas was semi-professional club Slough Town FC in the English 7/8 division.
9. Adam Hughes (also formerly Perth Glory) – He left Perth for the Chinese second tier playing for Harbin Yiteng FC where he has clocked up 28 appearances last season and a handy six goals.
10. Francisco Usucar – Francisco wanted to leave Adelaide United after just one season after making 34 appearances for Adelaide in the A-League and ACL. He ended up signing for Ecuadorian side Tecnico Universitario where he played 19 games last season.
11. Dario Bodrusic – Only played a handful of games for Adelaide in 2011 so at seasons end he moved to NK Rudes in the Croatian second division where he has made 27 appearances and bagged one goal.
12. Andwele Slory – Former Adelaide and Netherlands International Andwelle Slory still stands as being retired after he chased business ventures. That Andedwell didn’t it?
13. Sergio van Dijk – After a long awaited departure Sergio ended up with Indonesian club Persib Bandung and has scored four goals in eight appearances including two goals in the ‘Indonesian Derby’ against Persija Jakarta.
14. Yevhen Levchenko – Sadly 35 year old Levchenko has failed to find a club after being released by Adelaide and according to his Twitter he’s been enjoying travelling around Europe and watching football. As you were, Yevhen.
15. Ricardo Da Silva – After one season with the Reds he has returned to the South Australian state league with Adelaide City after failing to impress and with limited opportunities under John Kosmina.
16. Marcos Flores – We’ve lost track of where he’s got to. Only place we know he is for sure is on our homepage.
Next week we will be bringing you the scouting report for Brisbane Roar.
