Newcastle Jets can today confirm that Finnish forward Aleksandr Kokko has completed a move to Eastern in Hong Kong.

The Jets mutually terminated Kokko’s contract to enable him to switch to the Hong Kong Premier League.

Kokko’s departure will enable the Club to recruit either an additional foreign player or a further talented Australian for the Hyundai A-League 2017/18 season.

Newcastle Jets wish Kokko well in Hong Kong and acknowledge his efforts for the Club over the past year.
