Perth Glory have confirmed the signing of Chris Coyne on a three-year deal following his departure from Colchester.

The Australian defender had his contract with the League One club terminated by mutual consent earlier this week.

His expected move to hometown club Glory has now been completed, even though there had been a lot of interest from elsewhere.

Coyne is excited to be heading to Perth and looking forward to playing alongside his younger brother Jamie.

"To play alongside Jamie and for my hometown club was an opportunity that I didn't want to pass up," he explained.

"I'm very happy to be coming home and I think Perth have been able to put together a really strong squad."
