The two-time Championship winner has been with Sydney FC since signing from French club Evian in 2015 and his new contract will see him complete seven years with the club.

“This club is a family to me and I have had a lot of support from many Members and everyone inside the club in recent weeks.

“We have an unbelievable squad of players, fantastic coaches and fitness staff and a great club culture, and I think we can go on and win more trophies this season and beyond.

“Now I can look forward to the rest of the season and enjoy my football knowing my future with Sydney FC is secured.”
