The Western Sydney Wanderers have made their first new signing for the next A-League season after securing former Adelaide United striker Tomi Juric on a two-year deal.

Juric, 22, signed a short-term deal with Adelaide last season, scoring twice in a seven-game spell after five years of playing in Croatia.

In his time abroad the western Sydney native scored 12 goals in 18 games for Croatia Sesvete before teaming up with now-Wanderers midfielder Mateo Poljak at Lokomotiva.

He then joined fellow top-division side Inter Zapresic for a season before heading to Adelaide where his contract only recently expired.

"I am very excited to be given the opportunity to come and join the Wanderers," Juric said.

"I have the utmost respect for Tony Popovic and everything he has achieved this year.

"To come back to Sydney and play in western Sydney where I grew up is real motivation to work hard and become a better player.

"To also come back into a team that is preparing for both the A-league season and the AFC Champions League is an amazing opportunity for me."

Juric is the first replacement signed for the Wanderers after the departure of strikers Joey Gibbs and Dino Kresinger, defender Tarek Elrich and midfielder Rocky Visconte last month.

Executive chairman Lyall Gorman said Juric would be a great addition to the club.

"Tom provides added potency to our front line and we are very excited to have him form part of our squad for this coming season," he said.

"His strength and pace enhances our front third and we look forward to seeing him in action in the red and black hoops.

"His signing is further reflective of our club's culture and commitment to bring home players who have grown up in the western Sydney region."
