Melbourne City have signed former Western Sydney Wanderer Jason Trifiro on a one-year deal.

Trifiro made 37 appearances with Western Sydney after signing as one of the club's inaugural players in 2012.

The 27-year-old has spent much of the pre-season training with City, including an impressive performance against Manchester City in the club's pre-seson friendly against the EPL giants.

"Jason was impressive against Manchester City in the Gold Coast and has trained well with us during pre-season,โ€ van't Schip said.

โ€œWe've seen him perform for Western Sydney in the A-League and Asian Champions League andย he will bring added depth to our midfield this season.โ€

Trifiro joins Ivan Franjic, Steve Kuzmanovski, Corey Gameiro, Harry Novillo, Aaron Hughes, Michael Zullo, Wade Dekker, Bruno Fornaroli and Thomas Sorensen as the club's new recruits for the 2015-16 season.
