Sheer joy at beating the scum :)
TALENTED teenager Jason Davidson has been snapped up by Portuguese first-division club Pacos de Ferreira after receiving only one serious offer from the A-League.
Davidson, 18, signed a three-year deal last week - just days after playing for the Australian under-18 side in a tournament in Vietnam. The son of former Socceroos great Alan Davidson, Jason spent three years learning his trade in Japan before returning to his home town of Melbourne late last year.
Davidson played for Hume City in the Victorian Premier League until June, when he left for a serious of overseas trials. Melbourne Victory, Adelaide United and Central Coast Mariners all scouted him, but only Newcastle Jets coach Branko Culina made any sort of contract offer - believed to have been a two-year deal.

What's the go with this? Did anyone see him trial for CCMariners?
