Perth's Rukavtysya returns from Dutch trial

Perth Glory striker Nikita Rukavytsya has returned from a week-long trial with Dutch club FC Twente. The 21-year old will be available to face the Queensland Roar on Saturday night but his future in a purple shirt is unclear after that match.

It is believed that Twente have not yet made a decision on the goal scorer but Glory coach Dave Mitchell was pleased to have him back for the final match of the season.

"It's great to have Nikita back for this game, he is a wonderful young footballer and eager to play as many games as he can and his inclusion will definitely give our attack some added potency," Mitchell told SBS.
