Birighitti signs new Jets deal

Perth-born goalkeeper Mark Birighitti has signed a new one-year contract with Newcastle Jets.

Birghitti has signed the deal with Football Federation Australia, which took control of the club last month.

The 24-year-old Socceroo, a recent target of Perth Glory, was on loan at Italian Serie B side AS Varese for four months last season.

The FFA this week named 33-year-old Fulham assistant Scott Miller as the Jets head coach.
