SYDNEY (AFP) - Australian A-League club Queensland Roar have signed international midfielder Danny Tiatto for two years starting later this year.

Tiatto will return home in July after completing commitments with Leicester City in England´s second-tier league to play for the Brisbane-based Roar.

Roar coach Frank Farina believes the former Manchester City Premier League player will inject strength and experience into his squad.

"In Danny we have a player who leads by example who´ll drive the players around him with his enthusiasm for the game," Farina said Thursday.

"Danny has been at the top of my list for a while and as soon as we knew he was interested and available we acted quickly to sign him."

Tiatto was voted Leicester City player of the year in 2005 after transferring from Manchester City.

During his six seasons at Manchester, he played 140 games for the club and was named player of the year in 2001.

Tiatto played 29 times for Australia before retiring from international football in November 2005.

"I´m very excited to be coming home after 11 enjoyable years overseas," Tiatto said in a club statement.

"I have two young children now and both my wife and I want to be close to our respective families as they grow up."

"After speaking with Frank Farina I was delighted to sign and I´m very much looking forward to working under Frank again and helping Queensland to reach the finals for the first time," said Tiatto.

Good luck Danny, the first of many out of the current squad that will move on, by the big kick off in August I would envisage massive changes to the managerial and playing staff.
 
I think I'm the only one who is sorry to see him leave. I've always liked him as a player. All the best Danny :038:

totally agree p fox, ive said in other posts that 70% of todays squad wont be here next season. tiatto is proof that rumblings have started, dont be surprised if as players come in players who have under achieved go out.in fact most will have been given a p44 which is a prelude to a p 45. :icon_wink

i wont be unhappy to see a lot move on including tiatto, but i wish them luck, most will need it :icon_wink

On balance, I liked him, but at times he was a liability with his indiscipline. Not sad to see him go now as his injury problems seem to be getting worse.
 
One of the few who played with any passion,best Central midfielder at the club IMO but that isn't saying an awful lot
 
I echo HF thoughts, Danny became a much better player when moved into central midfield, and better disciplined, unlike that twat McCarthy!
