Pompey's head coach was quoted in saying: "He's a really quick, powerful and physical centre-forward, who can run in behind and is also very technical.

"We've done extensive work over the past few months and looking at what the opportunities were in the A-League.

"Kusini was one who really stood out. He's an exciting prospect and we're delighted to bring him to the club.

"On his day he's got a bit of everything and we want to see him perform consistently. If he does that, then we believe he can be successful over here."
