Melbourne Victory can today confirm that talented young midfielder Rashid Mahazi has signed with the club on a two-year-deal.

The 21-year-old joins from VPL side Northcote City after playing a starring role during their early dominance of the competition this season.

The Melbourne born midfielder has spent plenty of time with his new Victory teammates already, having traveled with the squad during its recent tour of Tasmania and he has also made several appearances during trial matches leading up to next week’s Hyundai A-League season.

Melbourne Victory Head Coach, Ange Postecoglou, said the midfielder would provide extra cover in the middle of the park.

“Rashid’s performances throughout the pre-season have been very promising and we are looking forward to seeing him further develop as he spends more time with the squad in the lead-up to the season,” Postecoglou said.

“We see him as a player with plenty of upside and someone that can fit well into our structures while also providing us with further depth in midfield.”

Melbourne Victory’s 2013/14 Hyundai A-League season will kick-off on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30pm against cross-town rivals, Heart. Tickets are selling fast and are available through www.ticketmaster.com.au.

I'd love for us to target any of Lustica, Flores, Williams, Finkler, Traore (although can't see him staying in Aust), Mooy & Spira and would be insanely happy with any of those.

[Jeterpool]

Why do we want heskey to leave? Age?

I just think this will be the last year for him here and don't think he'll stick around. If he's still performing I'm happy to be wrong

[Thomas477]

Sign Flores ffs, he's the type of player with need.

[MFKS]

Aaron Mooy FFS

That bloke is the most over rated player in the HAL. Rather have Bridges than that goose

[380]

Sign Hoffman plz, Bring the Boy Home TM

Is Jetman giving it away or a spot available in the tuck shop ?.

[parksey]

Aaron Mooy FFS

That bloke is the most over rated player in the HAL. Rather have Bridges than that goose

[sammydog]

Soccer Stoppage Time are reporting on twitter that GVE is meeting with Berisha and Petratos from brisbane for next season. Apparently he wants a goal scoring 9 and two wide players.

Berisha to rumoured to be offered $450,000 and the marquee spot.

If true, Heskey is gone and probably means the club doesn't expect to keep Burns/taggart (or a heap of the young guys.

[Premy]

Re-sign: Chapman, Kanta, Goodwin, Jaliens, Taggart, Neville, Heskey(under the cap)

Release: Bridges, Gibbs, Pepper, Brown, Mitchell

Sign: Spira, Finkler, Smeltz
Marque: Proven ball playing holding midfielder

[Premy]

I could have bes instead of Smeltz

[MFKS]

Berisha

Imagine having a bloke like him punching on with his teammates in our midst.

Bloke would be a ****ing god in downtown Newy

[Thomas477]

I could have bes instead of Smeltz

This. He appears a **** of a bloke, but a **** I want playing for us, not unlike a certain Joel Griffiths.....

Berisha wouldn't be a show stealing marquee that Heskey has been, but he would be effective. As for Petratoas, it must mean we're losing a fair few of the young guys, hopefully including Brown.
