Croatian midfielder Goran Paracki has arrived in Wellington ahead of his transfer to the Wellington Phoenix.

While the club have yet to confirm the signing, the 30-year-old told a Croatian media outlet on Friday that he was making the move to New Zealand to play for the Phoenix.

He posted two photos to his Instagram account on Tuesday (NZ time) of landing in Wellington and from what appeared to be his room at the Hotel InterContinental.

He has played most of his career in the Croatian top division as a defensive midfielder, although did spend some time playing in Hungary.

He shapes as an on-field replacement for veteran midfielder Vince Lia, although Lia is yet to find a new club, leaving open the possibility of him returning to the Phoenix for an 11th season.

Paracki also takes one of the two import spots new coach Darije Kalezic has at his disposal after the departure of midfielders Alex Rodriguez and Roly Bonevacia at the end of last season.
