A-League new boys out to lure Jamieson

MELBOURNE Heart's Dutch boss John van't Schip has targeted Adelaide United's Socceroos defender Scott Jamieson.

Heart chief executive Scott Munn confirmed yesterday van't Schip - a former Dutch international and advocate of giant club Ajax's coaching systems - had made an inquiry for the left-back.

Jamieson could be the second Reds player at Heart.

Kristian Sarkies became the club's historic first signing last year.

Munn, however, denied that Jamieson - off contract at the end of the Reds' AFC Champions League campaign - already had signed.

"We've certainly had a look at Scott Jamieson," he said.

"John van't Schip was interested in him. He thinks he's a very good player with good technical ability but we haven't signed him and we're not going to make any announcements."

Van't Schip already has snared eight players, including former Central Coast Mariners' Dean Heffernan and Sydney FC keeper Clint Bolton.

Van't Schip is expected to make a concerted effort to land Jamieson - last year's A-League's rising star - after the defender's return to form coincided with a starting berth in the Socceroos line up against Indonesia on Wednesday in Brisbane.

While Socceroos winger Tommy Oar received all the accolades for a stunning debut in the 1-0 win which propelled the Australians to 2011 Asian Cup qualification in Qatar, Jamieson was an able partner on the left flank.

The pair kept the edgy Indonesians pinned in their own penalty box for most of the second half but the Socceroos could not deliver a second goal after Mark Milligan's first-half effort.

Munn said Heart would endeavour to get Sarkies back on the A-League stage before the end of the year after the midfielder's leg was broken in a Baby Reds national youth league match 12 days ago.

Munn said Adelaide and Heart were united in seeking a fast recovery for Sarkies.
Sarkies is expected to return home to Melbourne to continue his rehabilitation once his Reds contract ends in May.

"Our new physio has started to work on a program for Kristian at this point," Munn said. "We're hoping he will get back to full training and back to full fitness in six months."
