The club made the announcement on its social media handles on Tuesday.

Sotirio, having spent his entire professional football career in Australia, is a versatile attacker that can play as a winger or forward and comes with a bag of experience.

Sotirio began his youth career with Five Dock and Leichhardt before moving on to the Australian semi-professional side Marconi Stallions. He then signed for the Wanderers and spent six seasons there. He was part of the side that finished as A-League runners-up on two occasions during the 2013-14 and 2015-16 seasons. The dynamic forward later turned up for Wellington Phoenix FC and after three seasons, went on to sign for Newcastle Jets on a two-year deal in 2022.
