Socceroos and Everton star Tim Cahill wants to end his playing career in Australia, preferably as part of the proposed South Coast club in the A-League. Cahill is associated with the Wollongong-based club’s bid to join the A-League for the 2010-11 season.
He will turn 29 next month and his current Everton contract expires in 2012.
“Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to round off my football life playing for a team which I’m convinced will get a licence to join the competition sooner rather than later,” Cahill told the World Game website.
“I want to come home when I still have something left to give as a player.”
Cahill also plans to launch a coaching academy in Wollongong, with the first clinics scheduled for April next year.
“The fact I can be part of the clubs’ player development in terms of giving kids in the region a chance to excel would only make it sweeter,” he said.
“I’m in this project for the long haul.”
