CENTRAL Coast Mariners tonight confirmed they had signed former Melbourne Victory marquee star Marcos Flores on a one year deal under their salary cap.
Earlier today the 2011 Johnny Warren Medal winner was released by Victory where he played as the Club’s marquee throughout the 2012/13 Hyundai A-League season.
The former Newell's Old Boys and Adelaide United attacker will arrive on the Central Coast in the next fortnight once he finalises his relocation from Victoria.
Central Coast Mariners coach Graham Arnold said: “We are excited to have signed such a talented player as Marcos Flores.
“It is well known that Marcos was Victory’s marquee player last year, so for us to not only sign him but fit him inside the salary cap is a fantastic coup for the club.
“We are sure Marcos will be a great addition to the team."
Flores tid the Mariners management that he believes he can play his best football at Bluetongue.
“I am so happy to be able to play again with a smile on my face,” he said. “I am ready to eat the world for the Mariners.
“They are the Champions, they are always successful, and it is exciting to join ‘Arnie’ (Graham Arnold) as he wants me to be his number 10.”
“I feel happy now and I have so much energy and enthusiasm for the Mariners. I have been good in the A-League before, but with the Mariners I will be better.”
Mariners General Manager Peter Turnbull said: “We are excited to have Marcos Flores sign with us because we know his talent.
"But we also wanted to demonstrate to our members and fans that we are determined to give the team every chance to defend the Hyundai A-League Championship.”
