Garang Kuol's 'tough' Hearts start has Graham Arnold planning Australia pick me up for Socceroos starlet

Graham Arnold is keen to bring Garang Kuol back into the Australia fold after what he describes as a “tough” start at Hearts.

The Socceroos wonderkid made a life changing move to Newcastle United from Central Coast mariners in January, and the Magpies sent him on loan to Tynecastle to gain some experience of British football until the end of the season. He picked the Jambos thanks to the influence of Robbie Neilson and Australia teammates Kye Rowles, Cammy Devlin and Nathaniel Atkinson.

However, Kuol has made just five appearances in maroon with four of them coming as a sub. Neilson has admitted that it will take him some time to get up to speed in the Premiership having come from the A League. Arnold is of a similar opinion, and reckons a recall to the national team for their “Welcome Home” matches against Ecuador in Sydney and Melbourne later this month.
