Krishna confirms overseas move

Wellington Phoenix striker Roy Krishna has confirmed his departure from the club and A-League after a stunning individual season.

The Fijian picked up the competition's golden boot and Johnny Warren Medal after scoring 19 league goals for the Nix.

The 31-year-old's fine form saw him attract plenty of interest from other A-League clubs but he's now poised to sign for an unnamed Korean club.
