Ross McCormack Joins A-League Side Melbourne City FC on Three Month Loan Deal

Melbourne City have announced the signing of Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack as a replacement for the injured Bruno Fornaroli.

The 31-year-old will spend three months in Australia on loan from the Villans in order to fill in for the A-League side's injured Uruguayan forward, and Melbourne head coach Warren Joyce seems keen to get McCormack started at the club:

“Losing Bruno to injury was difficult as he is an important player given his stature and ability within our team." Joyce told the club's official website.

"But we were proactive in immediately seeking out a replacement and having seen Ross’ performances, we believe he can provide an avenue and a strong attacking option for us.
