Former Socceroo Scott Chipperfield has joined Illawarra Premier League side Tarrawanna on a short-term deal.
Chipperfield is set to return to Australia once his contract with club side Basel runs out in June.
The 34-year-old enjoyed a thrilling end to his time in Europe, completing the league and cup double with the Swiss side, as well as knocking Manchester United out of the UEFA Champions League.

‘‘It-s all up in the air at the moment, but I-m pretty confident I can play a couple of games [for Tarrawanna].–
