No Cork return for Liam Miller as ex-Ireland international joins Melbourne FC

The 33-year-old has been playing in Australia since 2011 and recently had his contract with Brisbane Roar terminated.

MELBOURNE CITY FC have today confirmed the signing of ex-Ireland international Liam Miller, killing off any hope of a rumoured move to Cork City.

Miller has been playing in Australia since 2011 and recently had his contract with Brisbane Roar terminated, subsequently explaining that he felt “disrespected” by the manager there.

Yet a return to his native Cork will have to wait, with Melbourne announcing the acquisition of the former Celtic and Sunderland player via a statement on their official website today:

“Melbourne City FC can announce that Liam Miller will join the Club on a short-term contract and will be available for selection for this Sunday’s Hyundai A-League match against the Central Coast Mariners at AAMI Park.

“Miller, 33, will be eligible for selection under Football Federation Australia’s National Team Replacement Player rule.

“Miller trained with Melbourne City FC this morning and will be in John van’t Schip’s calculations for this week’s match against the Mariners.”

    David Gill was voted on the FA board by the premier league chairmen… As was David Dein, former Arsenal chairman, who Gill replaced, don’t be so ambiguous with your facts

    Gavin please stop using the term manure, it derives from a particularly nasty Munich chant originating from Leeds fans, David Gill sits on the board, as Dein did previously, as the Premier Leagues representative, he has no control or leverage over the disciplinary procedure, if he did do you think Sir Alex would have had a touch line ban in each of the last two years, or Rooney have been rightly made an example of after his foul mouthed tirade down the camera after the West Ham game the year before last.
