Striker Ross McCormack has joined Australian club Melbourne City on loan from Aston Villa as an injury replacement for Bruno Fornaroli, it has been confirmed.
McCormack was declared surplus to requirements at Villa at the start of the season after a fall-out with manager Steve Bruce with Bruce questioning the player’s attitude.
He was shipped out to Nottingham Forest for the second half of last season and returned to Villa Park during the summer.
With 157 career goals to his name, the 31-year-old McCormack will be a good addition to the Australian side and he can use this opportunity to regain confidence in his ability and to start scoring goals on a regular basis again.
The 13 times capped Scottish international commented on his transfer, saying, “I’m here to do a job for the team, support my team-mates, work hard for the manager and represent the club in the right manner.
“Hopefully I can show the fans what I can offer the team and I’m very excited about being able to represent this city and its fans at a great club.”
