Storm Roux travelled with the New Zealand National Team for their upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifiers which rules him out of contention for the Mariners back-to-back home games at Central Coast Stadium.
However, this paves the way for 19-year-old defender, Kye Rowles to be named in a Mariners squad for the first time this season. After impressing during pre-season, Rowles succumbed to a knee injury during the week leading into the Hyundai A-League season proper. The former Brisbane Roar defender featured in a youth team trial match against Sydney FC and has put his hand up for selection this week.
