Mariners sign teenage defender
August 01, 2007
CENTRAL Coast has signed local talent Ian McAndrew for the 2007-2008 A-League season.
The defender, 18, was born and raised on the New South Wales Central Coast, and he is the first graduate of the Mariners' youth academy.
McAndrew, from Wyoming, joins two fellow Central Coast youngsters in Bradley Porter, from Kanwal, and Andrew Redmayne, from Gosford, as the Mariners' three mandatory restricted-age signings.
McAndrew is the eighth signing for season three, after Dean Heffernan, Mile Jedinak, Greg Owens, Sasho Petrovski, Andrew Redmayne, Matt Simon and Matthew Trott.
The Mariners face Perth Glory in a pre-season cup semi-final at Bluetongue Central Coast Stadium in Gosford on Saturday.
