Sources close to Mark Milligan have told au.fourfourtwo.com that Milligan will return to Sydney as scheduled, early on Thursday morning.

They add that he is not currently looking for another club in Europe.

As reported, Milligan had traveled to Metz in France for a trial but the deal has since broken down due to “mutual reasons”.

With no other club currently in the picture, it is widely tipped that Milligan will remain a Sydney FC player for season 3 of the A-League.
