A-League return ... Jade North will make his Brisbane Roar debut this week. Source: Robert Mckell / News Limited
Socceroo defender Jade North is set to make his long-awaited debut for the Brisbane Roar in Friday night's clash with A-League leaders Central Coast at Suncorp Stadium.
North was signed by the defending champions from Japan three weeks ago but has yet to appear as coach Mike Mulvey opted to build up his fitness.
However, Mulvey has confirmed the 31-year-old former Newcastle and Wellington player will team with Matt Jurman in central defence against the Mariners.
North will replace youngster James Donachie who has impressed Mulvey in the absence of injured captain Matt Smith.
"He's done a tremendous job,'' Mulvey said. "But with young players, you need to know when to rest them.''
PSV Eindhoven recruit Stef Nijland, a former under-23 Netherlands striker, might also make a shock appearance against Central Coast after training with the Roar on Thursday morning following a 26-hour trip to Brisbane.
"It will be tough to start tomorrow but, if I can make minutes, I'll be happy,'' 24-year-old Nijland said.
Meanwhile, Brisbane's opposition Central Coast, have suffered a blow with experienced attacker Adam Kwasnik forced to undergo season-ending knee surgery.
Kwasnik will go under the knife on Monday after sustaining the injury in the lead-up to last week's 3-1 win over Adelaide United.
The 29-year-old had stepped up in the absence of boom youngster Tom Rogic and helped the Mariners continue their dominance.
