Patafta has joined the Jets
Exciting young midfielder Kaz Patafta has joined the Newcastle Jets in the hope of ensuring a high level A-League berth.
Patafta, 19, spent last season on loan at Melbourne Victory Portuguese giants Benfica.
He and Benfica parted ways last month.
Patafta made 14 appearances for victory in 2007-08, many of these off the bench.
"It was a great season in Melbourne and I really enjoyed my time here," said Patafta, who was a favorite of fans of Victory.
"... At that time, it is important for me to try to play regularly, which I believe is the only way to improve the level of senior officials.
"I'm really looking forward to a new challenge and try to cement and prove myself as a first team."
Victory coach Ernie Merrick Patafta wish the best for his future with the Jets.
"Kaz is a promising young player and we do not want to stand in his way of trying to get a first team position," Merrick said.
