After a protracted process that included the possibility of a move to Vegalta Sendai, Central Coast Mariners or Sydney FC, Tom Rogic has returned to the A-League at Melbourne Victory. The 21-year-old attacker is on loan through the end of May from Scottish Premier League giants Celtic and will be counted on to help the Victory secure a good finals position and reach the group stage of the Asian Champions League.
