Perth Glory is delighted to confirm that experienced defender Tomi Mrcela has returned for a second spell at the club (subject to international clearance).
The Perth-born 34-year-old, who was a member of the Glory squad which won the A-League Premiership in 2019, has signed for the remainder of the 2024/25 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
In addition to making 30 appearances during two campaigns with Glory, the 1.93m centre-back has also represented Western Sydney Wanderers and brings extensive overseas experience having plied his trade in Croatia, South Korea, India and Uzbekistan.
He is now excited to be back for a second spell with his hometown club.
“I have fantastic memories of my time with Glory and I’m delighted that this opportunity to return came up,” he said.
“It is an exciting new era for the club and I’m really looking forward to contributing on and off the pitch.
“The Glory Members and fans were superb with me when I was here before and I can’t wait to play in front of them again and do my bit to help drive the team forward.”
Glory Football Director Stan Lazaridis, meanwhile, believes that Mrcela will significantly bolster the club’s defensive stocks.
“Tomi is a strong, experienced defender who knows the club and the league and will do an excellent job for us,” he said.
“He brings a commanding and composed presence to the heart of the defence and is also a fantastic character who has already settled very easily into the group.
“We look forward to seeing him play a key role for us over the course of the rest of the season.”
Mrcela will wear the #29 shirt this season.
