Deano Down Under

The 40-year-old scored twice in 6 appearances for City since helping the club to promotion a year ago.  He was loaned out to Oldham in January but returned just two months later and has been out of action since.  His Hull City contract expires this summer.

Australian newspaper the Hume Leader reports: His first destination will be Western Australia to speak to Perth Glory which, along with Adelaide United, was alerted to Windass’s availability after hearing of Sunshine Georgies’ move.

But with the A-League season not scheduled to kick-off until August, Andy O’Dell is hopeful of having Windass’s services for at least “three or four games”.

Should Windass sign for Sunshine, he will be donating his playing services for free out of his long-standing friendship with O’Dell.  The two were youth players at Hull City during the early 1990s.

“Somebody let it out of the hat, and obviously there’s a bit of interest from Adelaide and Perth now,” O’Dell said.

“He’s going to Perth in the next week to talk to Glory, but all being well he’ll wear the Georgies shirt in the next 14 days.  I’m just waiting on what time he gets here (in Melbourne).

“He’s playing for nothing.  He just wants to get a look at the country as well.”
