Melbourne City FC is pleased to announce it has signed forward Dario Vidosic until the end of the 2018/19 season with the option for a further season.

The forward will wear the number 10 jersey for Melbourne City FC and will be eligible to play his first match for the Club during the January 6 fixture against his former side at AAMI Park.
Born in Croatia and emigrating to Australia in 1988, Vidosic began his footballing career in Queensland before accepting a scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport.

Commenting on the signing, Melbourne City FC Head Coach Warren Joyce said;
“Dario is a player who will bring a wealth of experience at this level to our front third. He has represented the Socceroos over 20 times and played at a high level overseas and we are excited to have him join our squad here in Melbourne.”
On joining Melbourne City FC, Vidosic said;
“Melbourne City’s professional environment and the quality of the playing and coaching groups made this an easy decision for me. I am looking forward to contributing to the Club both on and off the field and to showing the City fans what I am capable of.
