The inaugural A-League champions Sydney FC has signed Simon Colosimo from Perth Glory for the 2008/09 season on a two-year deal.
The former Manchester City player is delighted to be joining one of the competition's glamour clubs and is well aware of the spotlight that he will be under from now on.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Sydney FC,” Colosimo said. “They are a big club and I am looking forward to the extra pressure and expectation that goes with playing for Sydney FC.
“I enjoyed my time at Perth but I’m now looking forward to the challenge of establishing myself in the Sydney team and helping them stay at the top of the A-League.”

The central midfielder made his Socceroo debut in 1998 and has played a total of 24 internationals, scoring three goals in the process. He was also a member of the Australian team at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Sydney FC CEO George Perry was equally delighted with the capture of Colosimo.
“Simon is a quality player and will make a great addition to our squad for the next two years and we are committed to giving the Sydney FC fans a strong side and Simon’s arrival is the start of our recruiting for 2008/09.”
