Defender pulled on a Squirrels shirt for the first time.
Lucas Neill’s much anticipated debut for Omiya Ardija ended in a disappointing defeat to J-League foes Kashiwa Reysol on Saturday.
The veteran Socceroos skipper, wearing the no. 22 shirt, turned out for this new club for the first time in the 3-2 loss at the hands of Reysol and stated his eagerness to secure a first win in an orange jersey.

In spite of the defeat for his new side it was almost a perfect night for Neill as he came close to snatching a rare goal on his Squirrels bow.
