Wellington's as-yet unnamed new coach has been active in the recruitment process as next season's A-League roster begins to take shape.
Two re-signings were announced on Thursday by the Phoenix, with central defender Ryan Lowry and striker Hamish Watson both extending their contracts for two years.
The 18-year-old central midfielder Sarpreet Singh, in action for New Zealand at the under-20 World Cup in South Korea, has secured a three-year contract.
The Phoenix are yet to announce their new coach for next season, club general manager David Dome saying only that a Europe-based manager would be confirmed next week pending immigration clearance.
Reports have named Swiss-born Bosnian Darije Kalezic, who has coached in the Dutch and Belgian first division, as the new signing.
