Reports in Europe have suggested Melbourne City have signed former Aston Villa and Denmark goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.


The Danish keeper has penned a two-year deal with the A-League club but the signing won't be announced for a few weeks, according to Danish news website BT.


Sorensen spent 16 consecutive seasons in the Premier League with 364 appearances playing for Aston Villa, Stoke City and Sunderland between 1999-2015.


The 39-year-old played in the 2002 and 2010 World Cups for Denmark - accumulating 101 international appearances over 13 years.









Melbourne City have been consistently linked to Sorensen after releasing goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne at the end of last season.


Tando Velaphi is currently the only custodian on the Melbourne club's books

Is this the first foreign keeper?

Only other one I can think of is Tony Warner for Phoenix

And technically Jamie Yong.


Well he's Aussie cit isn't he?

I have no clue why you would waste a spot on a keeper unless they were outstanding and you had sorted out your whole squad and were left with a spot or two.

There are some decent kids coming through and a few very good guys in the NPL



according to wiki he played for englands u20, 19's and 18's

Young is an aussie born under age rep of english sides.
