Hoolahan closes in on move to A-League side Newcastle Jets

Irish midfielder Wes Hoolahan is reportedly in talks with A-League club Newcastle Jets after rejecting an offer to stay in England.

The 37-year-old is a free agent after spending last season in the Championship with West Bromwich Albion and is said to have turned down an offer from League Two side Cambridge United despite recently training with the club.

Hoolahan is instead close to sealing a deal with Ernie Merrick's Jets to become the club's third foreign signing, according to the Irish Sun.
