Kewell and Victory have announced that an unconditional agreement has now been reached after a long-running transfer saga.

The 32-year-old forward is arguably the most famous footballer Australia has produced with a successful career to date in the English Premiership with both Leeds United and Liverpool and more recently in Europe with Galatasaray.

Kewell is also regarded as the talisman of the Socceroos, having captained the side, also clocking up 54 caps for his country and scoring 16 goals.

Melbourne Victory chairman Anthony Di Pietro said: “Melbourne Victory, as an ambitious club, wishes to bring success and the highest level of talent to the club for our supporters. We are delighted to announce that Harry has chosen to play for our club.

“Harry is an Australian sporting icon and will bring not only incredible talent to Melbourne Victory but will attract more fans to football and boost greater interest and participation in the sport in Australia.

“Our discussions with Harry have been progressing for some time and we are delighted to have completed what is the most significant signing in Australian football and Hyundai A-League history."

The Socceroo, who is currently overseas, said he was looking forward to moving back to Australia after 16 years abroad.

“I am delighted to be joining Melbourne Victory. It is a great club whose record in the A-League speaks for itself," he said. 

"I am looking forward to playing in front of the Victory supporters with my new team mates.

“I am proud to be Australian and want to give something back to the game there.  It has always been my ambition to play in my home country and I am very pleased to have that opportunity by playing for Melbourne Victory.”
