Berisha signs contract extension with Melbourne Victory

Melbourne Victory have announced that Besart Berisha has penned a new deal with the club.


The 30-year-old Albanian striker has signed a two-year extension which will see him remain with the current A-League champions until at least the end of the 2017/18 season.

Berisha, who arrived at the Victory from Brisbane Roar prior to last season, was delighted to have committed himself to the Victory after experiencing such a successful debut campaign in winning the Premiership-Championship double in 2014/15.

"Melbourne Victory is a great club in all areas and I feel privileged to be a player at such a successful and professional club," Berisha said.

"The club enjoyed the ultimate success last season and I, along with all the coaches and players, feel there is so much more to achieve, so I am very excited to be at the club for two more seasons to do what I can to help the club win more trophies.

"We have a great squad, full of depth and talented youth, so the future is bright and I am very excited about this season and beyond at Melbourne Victory."

During his time in Melbourne, the former Arminia Bielefeld, Hamburg, Horsens and Rosenberg man has netted 25 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions, including 10 from 10 outings this season.
