Perth Glory have announced the signing of former Sydney FC forward Joel Chianese.

The 26-year-old returns to Australia after a spell with Malaysian clubs Sabah and Negeri Sembilan, netting 17 times in those 29 games.

Chianese trialled with Perth last season but was made to wait for an A-League return, his first since being released by Sydney FC in 2014.

“I’m very happy and excited to have been given a golden opportunity to rejoin the Hyundai A-League, particularly with Perth Glory which is already boasting an impressive squad under the stewardship of coach Kenny Lowe” he said.

“Perth is really building something special with a strong mix of local talent and some powerful and experienced foreign players, so it’s quite an honour to be among the group.

“My aim is to be part of a historic season for Perth as it gears up to its 20th anniversary, and I will do my utmost to contribute where and when needed.”

Chianese joins Rhys Williams, Adam Taggart, Rostyn Griffiths, Joe Mills, Milan Smiljanic and Liam Reddy as preseason signings.
