Wellington Phoenix are pleased to announce that talented midfielder Luka Prso has signed a one-year contract with the Club, after negotiating a release from one of Croatia’s largest clubs, NK Osijek. Honestly, it’s a great feeling – I’ve been told a lot about the coach and the Club, and I’ve been following the A-League for the past 10 years or so and Wellington have always been a Club that plays good football and has amazing fans; so it’s a really proud moment for me to be joining Wellington.
