Club has announced it on their Twitter - source

What's this, the 3rd Aussie to sign in Portugal this off-season? Best of luck to Nick, knew he'd have no trouble in finding another contract post-Vuck. Hopefully enjoys his time in Portugal and polishes his game even further.

Lol just checked where Tondela finished last season and they escaped relegation by a solitary goal - source

He's going to be a very busy boy if that trend continues!

Doesn't matter.

I rate Portugal as the best league in Europe for Aussies to play football outside Germany, Spain, France and Italy ATM.

Definitely better than the EPL as it is more tactical and technical, rather than a league of football athletes. Top Portuguese teams like Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto are decent teams in European comps too.

From watching Portuguese football they could sometimes do with a few physically strong players like Aussies to augment their high technical qualities.
