Blake Powell signed with the Central Coast Mariners in July 2016 who put pen to paper on a two-year-deal with the Yellow & Navy. During his time at Wellington Phoenix, Powell found the back of the net on eight occasions from 23 Hyundai A-League appearances with the New Zealand based outfit. Australian football fans will fondly remember Powell’s four-goal haul against Western Sydney Wanderers at Parramatta last season where he had a hat trick to his name after just 33 minutes in round 19 of the Hyundai A-League. Powell added a fourth to his tally in a day that saw the striker record the second fastest hat trick in Hyundai A-League history.
