After an extended trial period at Glory, Kukucka is eager to make his mark at the A-League level.
“I’m really excited to be joining Perth Glory as it’s been a goal of mine to achieve a move to an A-League side,” he said.
“Being a youngster in the squad, I feel that I’ve got a lot to prove, but I’m confident in my ability as a player to get the job done.
“This year I’d love to reach Finals as we have the capacity to do so and I want to be a key player in this squad.
“In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve already been able to learn a lot from the senior players and I only see myself improving from this point.”

“He’s extremely quick, can play out wide on either side of the pitch, has great delivery with his left foot in particular and even though he’s still young, he’s physically very robust.
