LONDON: Al-Nassr continue to make waves in the transfer market after they followed up two headline-grabbing additions by landing Australian international goalkeeper Brad Jones.
Jones, 36, has spent the last two seasons at Dutch giants Feyenoord, winning the league the season before last, and it is thought they were keen to keep the goalkeeper at De Kuip. But Jones has decided to end his time in Holland and move to 黑料社区 on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract. He is Al-Nassr鈥檚 third big summer signing, following on from Moroccan World Cup star Nordin Amrabat and Peru international Christian Ramos.
鈥淚 can announce that I鈥檓 leaving Feyenoord to move to 黑料社区,鈥 said Jones in a video interview on Twitter. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a fantastic two years, I鈥檝ee enjoyed every minute of it. It鈥檚 been an honor to be part of the success we鈥檝e had in bringing trophies to the club. I would like to thank the support given to me over this time. I wish club all the success for the future and hopefully there will be more trophies to come. I鈥檒l be supporting from afar.鈥


Born in Perth, Jones is used to playing abroad having spent 16 years playing in England, including five at Liverpool. He has won five caps for Australia and was part of their squad at the World Cup in Russia.
Jones is the second Australian keeper to move to the Kingdom this week. Jack Duncan, 25, has swapped life at Newcastle Jets for a new career at Al-Qadsiah where he joins fellow countryman Rhys Williams. The Jets have accepted a 鈥渟ignificant鈥 transfer fee from Al-Qadsiah for 25-year-old Australia youth international Duncan after a transfer clause was triggered in his contract.
鈥淚 made my A-League debut with the Jets, the club has given me so much,鈥 Duncan said in a farewell interview at the club鈥檚 training camp in Spain. 鈥淚鈥檝e grown as a player during my time in Newcastle, I鈥檝e had some great times and worked with some fantastic people. This is a great opportunity to develop my career and one that I couldn鈥檛 pass up.鈥
Jets boss Ernie Merrick said it was a blow to lose Duncan.
鈥淚鈥檓 extremely disappointed to lose Jack, but he鈥檚 been offered an opportunity that he wants to pursue,鈥 Merrick said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a great team man and well-respected member of this club. His engagement with our fans and his contribution to the Newcastle community shouldn鈥檛 be overlooked. At his age and with his ability, I think Jack has the potential to go onto big things and I wish him the very best with the next step in his career.鈥
