Dwight Yorke has been named manager of A-League side Macarthur FC.

It is the Manchester United legend's first managerial job after signing a two-year deal with the Australian side.

The 50-year-old said: "I am extremely excited in what is my first-ever senior full-time Head Coaching role, to take the reins at Macarthur FC.

"Having played in the inaugural A-League men's season, I have continually followed the competition, and am aware of both the footballing and fan demands in Australia.

"I look forward to adding a positive contribution and improve the game at all levels, however of course my primary focus will be with the Bulls, to deliver them success and a style of football that defined me as a player."
