Melbourne City FC can announce that Danish defender Michael Jakobsen will depart following two Hyundai A-League seasons with the Club.

Jakobsen, 32, joined Melbourne City on a two-year deal in 2016, making 43 appearances and helped City lift its first-ever men’s trophy, the Westfield FFA Cup in November 2016.

Jakobsen scored his first goal for Melbourne City FC on his debut; an acrobatic bicycle kick in the second minute of the 2016 FFA Cup quarter final against Western Sydney Wanderers.

We would like to thank Michael for his contribution to our Club and wish him and his family all the very best.
