Wellington Phoenix have been buoyed by the signing of English striker Chris Greenacre. The 31-year old has joined the A-League club on a two-year deal from English League One club Tranmere Rovers.
Phoenix chief Tony Pignata was delighted to welcome Greenacre as the club's newest acquisition.
"We've had tremendous feedback from a lot of people that we've spoken to about Chris, from coaches and managers to his fellow players," Pignata said.
"He's been Tranmere's top scorer for three seasons and has been part of a side this season that is pushing for promotion to the Championship.
"Chris has a proven pedigree as a striker and we're certain he will fit in very well at the Phoenix."
Greenacre, who has also had stints at Manchester City, Mansfield Town and Stoke City among other clubs, was excited about continuing his career down under.
"I can't wait," Greenacre said.
"I'm looking forward to a new challenge and a new chapter in my career.
"It wasn't a tough decision at all, certainly not from a football perspective. The more I learned about the club and about Wellington from Tony the more it appealed."
