BREAKING NEWS: Charlie Austin confirms Brisbane Roar exit after just SIX MONTHS in Australia as former Premier League striker tells A-League club he wants to go back to the UK for 'family reasons'

Just six months on from becoming Brisbane Roar's marquee signing, Charlie Austin has decided to head back to the UK.

The Englishman has made plenty of headlines throughout his time Down Under, complaining about the quality of Australian TV, before angering locals by claiming Hobnobs are better than TimTams.

And now, Austin is heading back to the UK for 'family reasons', taking to Twitter to confirm the news on Wednesday.
