Mariners midfielder Joshua Nisbet received a belated call-up to the Socceroos ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against Lebanon in Sydney and Canberra.Mariners midfielder Joshua Nisbet received a belated call-up to the Socceroos ahead of their World Cup qualifiers against Lebanon in Sydney and Canberra.The Socceroos’ newest call-up, Josh Nisbet, has spent much of his life proving doubters wrong, but says his elevation to the national team won’t temper his high ambition.
Rumours linked him with Melbourne City last week, but he revealed on Monday he hasn’t signed anywhere and he was open to a return to the Mariners. “It’s my first ever camp so I’m looking to sort of linger with the boys and get relationships going and then hopefully, if the opportunity comes up, I’ll take it,” he said.“I’ve come in to try and push my way into the squad and with the training sessions I can hopefully do that. I understand that I wasn’t the first picked but football is a funny game, and if you impress things change.”
