Charlie Smith put in a transfer request today after indicating his intention to move to Perth in February. The surprise announcement came hard on the heels of the transfer of Chris Riddle to Jafaland United. "It came as a bit of a surprise" said Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall "but apparently there is an outpost of the Pompey supporters club there so that is what swung it for him". Smith would return to England at Christmas then do a short stint back in Wellington before making the big move to Western Australia. "Perth is so close to everything" said Smith "there's Freemantle and the Indian Ocean for starters". Hall said he'd be expecting a "bit of a night out" in February before Smith sailed into the sunset.Land Rovers play leaders Infinity tomorrow and go into the game with a three loss no win record against the team. "We might have a few surprises up our sleeve tomorrow" said Hall "so I'm looking for a better result than ATFC got last week when they lost 15 - 0". Rovers need a win in one of their last two games to secure a top four spot.
