Roar Striker Prepared to Prove His Quality Against Former Club
Brisbane striker Justin Vidic insists he does not have anything to prove to his old club Newcastle Jets, but he is determined to demonstrate his “quality” after being released last season.
Career Background and Recent Move
Vidic was let go by Newcastle after scoring only one goal in 13 A-League matches, most of which he played as a substitute. When Mark Milligan replaced Robbie Stanton as Jets coach, the 21-year-old was not offered a new contract.
Faced with uncertainty in his career, Vidic took a chance to trial with Brisbane Roar. His commitment earned him a two-year contract, fitting well with coach Michael Valkanis’s straightforward and physical playing style.
Vidic's Outlook Before Facing Newcastle
“These things happen for a reason. I’m sure I’ll show my quality. I don’t think I have anything to prove to them. They know what I’m capable of, and there are lots of people at the club that I still speak to and that I’m still close to. They know my potential and I want to show them that on Sunday.”
Performance with Brisbane Roar
- Vidic started two of Brisbane’s three matches this season.
- He scored his first goal for the Roar in a 2-1 loss to Wellington last month.
- He views his starting appearances as positive development.
“Starting in our past two games has been good for me.”
Summary: Justin Vidic embraces his fresh start with Brisbane Roar, confident in proving his skills despite challenges from his time at Newcastle Jets.
