John Kosmina has continued his redevelopment of Adelaide United, signing a second Argentine in 26-year-old forward Jeronimo Morales Neumann, pending a medical.

Neumann, who last season played in the Argentine second division with Independiente Rivadavia Mendoza, is a product of the Argentinean first Division club River Plate and has also played at Estudiantes alongside the Reds other Argentine import Marcelo Carrusca.

Kosmina said he hopes Jeronimo will add an extra dimension to the Reds' attack.

“Jeronimo has played over 100 senior games in Argentina with some very good clubs and has also had experience abroad. He is a versatile forward who has a bit of pace and is a good finisher. He will add some quality to what is a very competitive and balanced squad” Kosmina said.

Neumann is expected to arrive in Adelaide next week and provided he passes his medical will join the Reds initially on a one season term for the 2012/13 Hyundai A-League season.
