Socceroo Alex Wilkinson says Melbourne City were the perfect fit for him after leaving Korean club Jeonbuk Hyundai.

After departing the Korean club in December, Wilkinson drew the interest of both Melbourne clubs.

However, it was “ambitious” City who won the race for Wilkinson’s signature. The 31-year-old says City made him feel wanted.

“I had a couple of options abroad and a few in the A-League as well, but for me, Melbourne City just seemed like the perfect fit,” Wilkinson told the Daily Football Show.

“They’re a really ambitious club, a club that’s got a great squad together and one that’s chasing its first championship.

“”It’s an exciting time to be with the club. They’re very ambitious and the facilities they’ve got out at Bundoora are second to none and the players are very well looked after.

“Speaking to the coaching staff and a few of the boys, they made me feel really wanted and had nothing but positive things to say about the club.

“In that regard, it was quite an easy decision for myself because I’ve heard nothing but positives about the club.”
