Wanderers pull off surprise signing of McGowan

Despite reported interest from Sydney FC, fringe Socceroos defender Dylan McGowan has signed a three-year deal with Western Sydney Wanderers.

The 27-year-old defender was most recently playing for Danish Superliga side Vendyssel and returns to the A-League after a previous stint with Adelaide United.

The Australian centre-back is another important addition for Markus Babbel's side, who failed to make finals last season for a second straight year.

After previously playing in Scotland and South Korea, McGowan is excited to be returning to Australia for what looms as a big season for the Wanderers.
