Melbourne Heart FC has strengthened its attacking armoury with the signing of striker Dylan Macallister for the Hyundai A-League 2012/13 season.
Macallister, 30, has signed a two-year deal to link up with Heart and follows the arrivals of attackers Josip Tadic and former Gold Coast United speedster Golgol Mebrahtu.
With Macallister-s signing bringing Heart one step closer to completing its squad for the upcoming season, head coach John Aloisi said the former Young Socceroo brings a complete look to the side-s attack.
“Dylan is certainly a player who is going to add depth and support to our squad. He-s a different type of player to the attacking options we currently have up front in that he is a strong physical presence, who is also capable of taking up dangerous positions in the penalty box.
“He has a lot of experience to bring to the club. We played together at the Mariners and I-m looking forward to working with him. I know he is a great character and will certainly allow the younger guys to walk taller.”
Having enjoyed a decade-long career at the professional level, Macallister arrives at Heart following stints with Gold Coast United and Icelandic club Breiðablik UBK, where he scored during a UEFA Champions League qualifier against Norwegian giants Rosenborg BK last season.
