Macarthur FC have finally got their Mile. No, not that one - Mile Sterjovski. The former Socceroo has signed as the Bulls second assistant coach under head coach Ante Milicic, who appears unlikely to land the other Mile, former Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak.

As revealed by the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age in November 2018, Jedinak was close to accepting an offer from Macarthur as their inaugural captain if they were to win an A-League licence to enter the competition for this season.

However, a year's delay hasn't helped Macarthur's bid for Jedinak, who has grown comfortable in the UK.

Macarthur sources suggested they had not given up hope of trying to sign the 35-year-old but weren't confident of luring him back to Australia.
