VPL: Prodigal son Milicevic returns to Knights

MELBOURNE Knights unveiled a major signing last week with hard-nosed defender Ljubo Milicevic joining the club last week.

Milicevic, capped eight times for the Socceroos, has enjoyed a glittering career abroad after spending his formative years with the Knights.

The 32-year-old played in Europe with FC Zurich, FC Basel, FC Thun and BSC Young Boys before returning to  Australia to play in the A-League mainly with Newcastle Jets.

Milicevic joins the Knights following a brief stint with Hajduk Split in Croatia.

In the Victorian Premier League, Osagie Ederero fired in a double for Green Gully Cavaliers in an important 2-1 win over Southern Stars at Kingston Heath Reserve on Saturday night.

Ederero opened the scoring on 16 minutes, but it was cancelled out just three minutes later by Nicholas McKoy. It would be Ederero’s night as he sealed all three points for the Cavaliers with a second goal early in the second half.
