Australian football could land a major coup next season with former Socceroo star Brett Holman looking to sign with an A-League club in the coming months.

The 31-year-old midfielder is hoping to end his 14-year foreign foray as early as June when his contract expires with UAE-based Emirates Club, having already expressed his interest to potential suitors in the A-League

A fortnight after Socceroos star Tim Cahill criticised the vision of the domestic competition, his fellow 2010 World Cup teammate could show significant faith in the growth of the domestic game by becoming one of its high-profile recruits next season. Fairfax Media understands Holman has already attracted the interest of several clubs monitoring his status but, should he return to Australia, he will likely play for either of his hometown clubs Sydney FC or Western Sydney Wanderers.
