Roar lock in new striker

BRISBANE Roar’s search for a marquee frontman is over with veteran Italian Massimo Maccarone joining the A-League club on a one-year deal.

Coach John Aloisi confirmed Maccarone has accepted an offer from the Roar and is expected to arrive in Australia in the coming days.

“Massimo’s excited to be joining us,” Aloisi said.

“Massimo not only makes great forward runs but he also links up with players around him very well. He’s still quick and he’s still scoring goals.”
