The 29-year old Spaniard is in Sydney to train with NSW Premier League clubs Marconi and Sydney Olympic to hopefully attract interest from Sydney FC.

"Here they have beautiful stadiums, great infrastructure, good fans and such an amazing country. I want to have an experience here and try to participate in the league," he said.
