Australian finest football export aka Harry Kewell is yet to receive any contract offer after his departure from his native Australian A-League’s side Melbourne Victory. He left Australia in June this year, and since then he is available for any sign up but yet to receive an offer. He said, he had some conversations in this period but yet to receive an offer. Currently, he is 34 years old, and everybody sees it as an end of his soccer career coz of his age. Even Harry Kewell understands this, so he has made himself available for a career change if he gets a better alternative. For now, he is living in England with his wife. Harry Kewell is a highly admired product of Australian soccer, perhaps, he is commonly known as finest Australian export in years. He has as many as 58 international caps alongwith 17 goals for Australia. He has also been a member of Australian national football team. In his statement given to SkySports, he said, “If something comes up and it is the right thing for me I will have a look at it,” he further added, “But I am happy to move on with a different career.”
Harry Kewell has played for Leeds United and Liverpool in the era from 1995 to 2008, but his most dream time was at Leeds which is the most successful period of his soccer career where he won many awards, like PFA Young Player of the Year and was the member of PFA Team of the Year. Even at that time, Leeds received a bid worth £25m for his transfer but club refused it citing his worth for the club. Moreover, his departure from Leeds was controversial coz of his allegations over Leeds medical personals; he said in an interview given to BBC wherein he held club’s medical staff responsible for worsening his injuries.
He then shifted to Liverpool from 2003 to 2008, and he has not since played in England. He also seems to be upset with the prevailing soccer culture where a player is completely out casted as he passes thirty years, and it becomes even more complicated for an aging player if is out of his home country for a while. But this is how the system works in world football today. Citing his blues, he said, “None at all, it has been difficult when you have been out of the country for a while but that is how it goes in football.”
