Glory really testing me yet again. Quote:Dear xxxx,
Perth Glory FC have completed the signing of left-back Marc Warren, putting pen to paper in a 1-year deal.
The ex-Sheffield United defender joins Kenny Lowe’s squad after a successful three-week trial.
Lowe said that Warren’s experience was a major factor in deciding to sign the 23-year-old.
“He’s very experienced for someone of such a young age. He’s played in the UK, played in Scotland and he’s played in the A-League. He’s hungry; he’s shown that he’s got good qualities. Hopefully he kicks on and fulfils his potential.”
A product of the Australian Institute of Sport, Warren has appeared 26 times for Australia’s U17 and U20 squads, including the FIFA U20 World Cup.
There he played alongside current Socceroos Trent Sainsbury and Tommy Oar, facing a strong Spanish side that included star Athletico Madrid forward Koke, and FC Barcelona’s up-and-comers Marc Bartra, Christian Tello and Sergi Roberto.
After featuring in the U20 premier tournament, Warren was signed by then-League One outfit Sheffield United, who finished third in the 2011-12 season. He later went on to feature for Scottish side Airdrie United, before returning home to Sydney FC and APIA Leichhardt.
Warren expressed his excitement to pull on the purple jersey and represent Perth in the Hyundai A-League.
“I’m grateful to get another chance to play football on the biggest stage in Australia, especially considering the proud history of the Club,” he said.
“I’ll be doing whatever I can to help bring success to Glory because the fans and the people at the Club deserve it.”
Warren joins ex-Sydney FC teammate Hagi Gligor in the Glory squad, and is expected to feature against Newcastle Jets in the Westfield FFA Cup next week.
Perth Glory FC face Newcastle Jets at Magic Park in NSW on Tuesday night, kicking off at 5:30pm AWST. Tune into Fox Sports 4 to watch the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 32 clash.

I can say with a fair degree of certainty that Marc warren is the worst player I've ever seen in sky blue. It was a joke when farina signed him and it's an even bigger joke that glory are willing to give him another professional gig. He isn't even squad player standard.

Urgh.... Why talk about his A-Legue experience if you didn't pay any attention to it before signin him?! This is a very frustrating signing. Rumour has it that he's been quality in the NPL, but he's just not what we really need.

Marc warren came to sydney after being released from a Scottish division 1 side and it was hardly surprising once he played a few games for us. Not an a-league player full stop.

Zads can't shoot, but people who doubt his other qualities don't really understand football. Warren on the other hand...

I wonder if he got a glowing reference from Del Piero...:lol:
I wonder if Lowe signed him because he shares the same taste in hair styles. :lol:

FFS. ](*,) Warren is a 23 year old ex-pro who is playing in a state league and has been playing well apparently. So really, your post doesn't make much sense in this context.

I know he's playing in the State League...I probably should rephrase.....State League Players that are unproven at A-League Level. Fixed.

I hope (and the reality probably is) that he is on minimal wage and is only to be utilised in desperate times. Hopefully he will just contribute as much as Woodcock has last season and warm the bench.

I don't get why A-league coaches favor experience over actual ability. Its been demonstrated time again that quality youth can make a bigger splash then washed up never gunna bes
