Jason Culina signs with Newcastle Jets

The Nathan Tinkler-owned club could unveil Culina, the son of Newcastle coach Branko Culina, as soon as today.

Culina, 30, made his name at Dutch heavyweights PSV Eindhoven before returning to Australia two years ago as the Gold Coast's marquee player.

Culina, a mainstay of the Socceroos midfield, has a knee injury and is not involved in the Gold Coast's A-League finals campaign.
