WATCH: 'I want to play overseas' - Brattan

Speaking after having a haircut for the Leukaemia Foundation, the on-loan midfielder indicated he doesn't plan to stay in Melbourne long

Melbourne City midfielder Luke Brattan hopes to have another crack at playing football abroad next season but first he is targeting the A-League championship.

The 27-year-old was signed by Manchester City in October 2015 after securing his release from Brisbane Roar due to unpaid superannuation and was immediately loaned to Bolton Wanderers but failed to play a single game for the Championship club.

City Football Group decided to loan Brattan to their Australian club this season - something that had been expected from the moment he signed with Manchester City - but the defensive midfielder insists he still has ambitions to succeed abroad.
