NZ's Brockie on the mend and in contention for World Cup

North Queensland Fury attacker Jeremy Brockie is on the mend and ahead of schedule as he strives to return from a broken leg he sustained in January.

The New Zealander suffered the break against the Brisbane Roar on January 23 and there were initial fears he may miss selection for the All Whites' World Cup squad but his progress indicates he will be fully fit and on track to gain a call-up.

Brockie is attracting from interest from other A-League clubs as he is out of contract with the Fury who are experiencing difficulty attracting investors to keep the club afloat.

The 22-year old is in constant contact with All Whites coaching staff as he continues to work on his rehabilitation from the injury which he is confident of returning from to take on Italy, Paraguay and Slovakia in South Africa.
