    Phoenix goalkeeper Josh Oluwayemi is confident jitters are behind him at the A-League club

    Phoenix goalkeeper Josh Oluwayemi is confident jitters are behind him at the A-League club


    The Brit found himself out of favour early on in his Phoenix tenure last season after a couple of glaring blunders.

    But he's bounced back this season with notable form, including 10 saves - two of them penalties - in last week's derby loss to Auckland.

    The 24-year-old concedes it took some time to align with his new club.



    The Phoenix host Newcastle in Wellington, with the match just getting underway.
