Soccer: Phoenix add to roster

The Wellington Phoenix are just one player short of completing their roster for the A-League soccer season after signing New Zealand under-20 players Jacob Spoonley and Greg Draper.

Goalkeeper Spoonley and striker Draper brings the squad to 22, with both signing two-year deals with the new franchise.

They also complete the three mandatory under-20 spots, joining Wellington's Costa Barbarouses.

Coach Ricki Herbert said Spoonley, 20, and Draper, 17, performed well at this month's under-20 World Cup in Canada
