WESTERN Sydney Wanderers have pulled off the big name signing of Roly Bonevacia, Fox Sports understands.

The Wellington Phoenix midfielder is off-contract at the end of the season as he started and scored against Melbourne Victory on Sunday afternoon.

During the Fox Sports pre-game show, football commentator Simon Hill revealed that Bonvacia was set to sign for Western Sydney Wanderers in the off-season.

“We understand that Roly Bonevacia is reportedly on his way to the Wanderers,” Hill explained.

Within half an hour of the announcement of his departure, Bonevacia had stunned Victory, scoring two gems from outside the box to stun the home side.

It serves as a coup for the Wanderers, who themselves have 14 players off-contract, including midfielders Kearyn Baccus, Dimas Delgado, Mitch Nichols, Bruno Pinatares and Terry Antonis.

“It’s not much of a surprise that he will leave Wellington,” said Fox Sports football expert Andy Harper.

“It’s been a very tumultuous season there for him. He’s a huge talent but we haven’t seen the consistent talent of Bonevacia, I think. He remains one of the competition’s most dangerous players but this season he hasn’t rolled it out on a consistent basis.

“He’s found himself out of the first team all together because he’s been unsettled or whatever has transpired but he has also been linked to Adelaide United so watch this space.”

Bonevacia’s family relocated to Sydney following the earthquake which hit Wellington late last year and was stood down indefinitely by the club in February along with two other teammates for ill-discipline.
