Former Crystal Palace midfielder Carle to return to Sydney

Nick Carle will be back with Sydney FC following his loan spell with Bani Yas.

The 31-year old former Crystal Palace midfielder is getting set to complete a 12-month loan deal with the United Arab Emirates Pro League club and has confirmed he will return to the Sky Blues ahead of the 2013/14 A-League season.

"I'm really happy to be coming back to Sydney FC," Carle said. "I enjoyed my experience in Abu Dhabi with Bani Yas but Sydney is home and I want to finish my career with Sydney FC.

"I'm looking forward to getting back to Sydney FC, working with Frank Farina and doing my best for the club.

"I've spoken to a few of the players and there's a real determination to get stuck into pre-season training and make sure we're ready for the start of the season to improve on what was a disappointing season for the club last year."

Since arriving in Abu Dhabi, Carle has made a total of 27 appearances for Bani Yas, scoring two goals.
