Wellington has announced the signing of former New Zealand rep Shane Smeltz, for the rest of the season.
Jets coach Mark Jones had mentioned the striker as a possible recruitment target, but CEO Lawrie McKinna says no formal offer was made.
The Jets admit they have been in contact with Mark Bridge, who’s currently playing in Thailand on a lucrative three-year contract.
But at this stage, he hasn’t been offered a deal to return to Newcastle.
