Wellington's Reddy hoping for Australia chance

Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Liam Reddy is hoping his chance to push for Australian selection comes soon.

The 28-year old has consistently been one of the best shot-stoppers in the A-League over the past few seasons and has only got better since his switch from the Brisbane Roar to the Phoenix but he is keen to be given an opportunity by the national team to prove he has what it takes to be selected for the World Cup squad.

''I don't know why it hasn't happened - all I want is a chance to show the coaches what I can do,'' he said.

The 28-year old also has a big-name supporter in ex-Australia and AC Milan keeper Zeljko Kalac who believes he is worthy of Socceroos selection.

''To be honest, I'm surprised he's not had a look-in with the Socceroos,'' Kalac said.

Rumours linking Reddy with a three-year deal to join Sydney FC next season have gained traction and a deals is likely to be signed once this season's finals series are complete.
