A-League transfer news: McGree returns to Adelaide, Phoenix sign Mexican midfielder Davila

Adelaide United have completed a transfer coup with the acquisition of South Australian-born midfielder Riley McGree as the first signing from new coach Gertjan Verbeek.

The 20-year-old talent, who began his career with the Reds in 2014, has decided to return home for the upcoming season on a three-year deal after the Reds agreed an undisclosed fee with Belgian giants Club Brugge.

McGree has spent the last two seasons on loan at A-League clubs Newcastle Jets and Melbourne City after being sent Down Under to develop by Brugge.
