Newcastle and Jason Culina have ended a long-running battle over the A-League club’s shock sacking of the former Socceroo.
Culina was dismissed by the Jets on the eve of the 2011-12 A-League season, with the club citing medical concerns over their marquee man’s surgically repaired right knee.
The ensuing wrangle became more complicated when the Jets lodged a complaint under FFA’s grievance-resolution regulations in January – claiming the governing body negligently allowed Culina to play for Gold Coast United without appropriate insurance.
Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) chief executive Brendan Schwab declared on Wednesday the parties had reached a resolution.
Culina was happy to put the matter to bed and is confident he’ll return to the A-League soon.
