Melbourne Victory have bolstered their ranks with the addition of experienced Thai striker Sutee Suksomkit.

The 31-year-old, who has 60 caps and 16 goals for Thailand to his name, will join Victory from Singapore side Tampines Rovers subject to passing a medical, obtaining a visa and approval from Football Federation Australia.

“Sutee is an experienced, quality player who we’ve been watching for quite some time. His credentials at international level are impressive and we believe he will be a good fit in our offensive structure,” Melbourne Victory football operations manager Gary Cole said.

“He’s a left footer, which brings a different dimension to our attacking options and will not doubt have a very good playing partnership with Surat Sukha, given they’ve played alongside each other in the Thai national team.”

“We’re hoping to get him to Australia as soon as we can to complete his medical. We can then prepare him for his first game for Melbourne Victory, which is likely to be October 24th against Adelaide United.”
