4. NIKITA RUKAVYTSYA

With his Maccabi Haifa contact set to expire at the end of this month, the 31-year-old Socceroos winger could be looking towards a third A-League spell - except this one might be conclusive in terms of career.

Rukavytsya has actually excelled during his time in Israel, boasting patches of fantastic goalscoring form in a fruitful move into a striking position. The Ukrainian-born footballer also has Israeli citizenship, which would make a stay in the country no issue. 

But an A-League move may prove enticing for a variety of reasons. At his current age and in good form, he could still accrue a marquee wage Down Under, although this may be his last chance to do so.

The lifestyle in Australia and the shift in focus from the Israeli Premier League may be a welcome shift for the fringe Socceroo. He's also fallen out of favour with the national team and while Arnie's proven relatively Eurocentric, a sweet spell would certainly get Rukavystya noticed.

Given Rukavytsya's experience under Tony Popovic at the Wanderers, a move back to where it all begun at Perth Glory is also a dark horse, with the winger previously noting that he still holds a soft spot for the West.

“Perth is great - I love the city and it's like home to me now. The club was good and the fans were great - I miss it a lot even now," he previously told FTBL.

“I think my time in the A-League was a great education. It was so good for me as a young player to get that experience of playing in a professional team with so many other great players to learn from.”
