Melbourne Victory have confirmed former favourite Marco Rojas will return to the club, signing a two-year-deal.
The winger returns to Victory after an ill-fated three-year stay in Germany with VfB Stuttgart, where he was never able to make a first team appearance, and just four for the club’s reserves.
He also spent time on loan with SpVgg Greuther Furth as well as Swiss side FC Thun.
