Ince, Le Saux, et al want to follow Sydney's Yorke Down Under
tribalfootball.com


Sydney FC's capture of former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke has convinced a host of top England internationals to seek contracts in Australia's new A-League competition.

Paul Ince, Graeme Le Saux and Martin Keown have all indicated through intermediaries they're ready to come out to Australia for the new season - at a knockdown £450,000-a-year price-tag.

Ince is off contract at Wolves, while Le Saux (Southampton) and Keown (Reading) have announced their retirement from English club football in the past week.

Also considering a move Down Under is released Manchester City midfielder Steve McManaman. Teddy Sheringham has been mentioned, though the striker is currently in talks over a new contract with Premiership promotion winners West Ham.

Meanwhile, Queensland Roar coach Miron Bleiberg says he is in talks with a former England international about a guest stint this season.

A-League rules permit clubs to sign 'guest players' to short-term deals and Bleiberg revealed: "If you bring someone in with a good reputation, a good nature and in a position that suits your team, that's it you know.

"I'll know in the next three days if something is going to happen."
