Rafael Struick Eyes Career Revival Amid Bali United Negotiations
Rafael Struick, a forward for the Indonesian national team, is currently in talks with Bali United after being released by Brisbane Roar. His performance under former national team coach Shin Tae-yong made him a key player, but since Patrick Kluivert took over, Struick has struggled to secure playing time. With his contract in Australia not renewed and minimal impact on the field, he is now exploring new opportunities to revive his career.
Bali United is undergoing a major transition, with 12 players recently departing, including several high-profile names. The club is actively looking for new talent to bolster their attack, especially from the Indonesian diaspora. Struick, being a free agent and eager to return to form, presents a potential fit for the club’s new direction under recently appointed Dutch coach, Johnny Jansen.
In addition to Struick, Bali United is reportedly considering another national team player, Justin Hubner, who recently left Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, the management is approaching this option with caution due to Hubner’s current importance to the national team, which could stir mixed reactions if he joins the club.
As the club begins a rebuilding phase, Johnny Jansen remains tight-lipped about specific targets but has expressed excitement about the challenge of reshaping the team. He aims to implement a new style of play and focus on developing both individual players and team cohesion. With Struick potentially joining, Bali United could offer the ideal environment for the forward to regain confidence and reestablish himself competitively.
