PERTH Glory striker flop Mate Dragicevic has had his contract ripped up with immediate effect after he failed to score once all season.
The club today revealed the pair had mutually agreed to part ways.
Dragicevic joined the Glory from Croatian club NK Pula for the 2007/08 A-League season but has struggled to find his best since arriving in Australia.
The 28 year has not featured in the club’s past three outings and leaves Perth with six regular season appearances to his name.
Dragicevic scored one goal in the pre-season cup competition, away to Central Coast, but has been unable to find the back of the net since the start of the regular season.
“We had high hopes for Mate this season but he hasn’t been able to have the impact in front of goal which we required," said coach Ron Smith.
"It has been extremely disappointing for the club and for the player.
“There was no question about his desire to do well for Perth Glory however he wasn’t able to make the most of the opportunities given to him and we’re at a stage now where we must look at alternatives.
“In the best interests of the club we’ve made the decision to part company with Mate.”
Perth Glory’s search for a replacement player has begun and details will be released when that process is complete.
