Western Sydney Wanderers have signed former academy star Mohamed Al-Taay after almost four years away from the Isuzu UTE A-League club.
Al-Taay – an Iraq international midfielder – has signed a one-and-a-half-year deal following his Wellington Phoenix departure.
Prior to his Wanderers comeback, the 24-year-old enjoyed stints with Newcastle Jets and the Phoenix.
“It feels amazing to be back home at the Wanderers, I am honoured,” said Al-Taay.
“Since I’ve left the club, as a footballer and a person, I’ve gained a lot of experience and learnt a lot from playing in the A-League and representing my country in FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
“My goal is to help the team in every way possible and make an impact when given the chance to show my ability and I aim to also help Iraq qualify for the World Cup.”

Al-Taay is the third new face at the Wanderers during the January transfer window, after Alex Gersbach and Jarrod Carluccio.
“Great to bring another Wanderers product back home,” said Wanderers head coach Alan Stajcic.
