GRAHAM DORRANS will be reunited with his old Rangers team-mate Kenny Miller after the midfielder signed a two-year deal at Western Sydney Wanderers.
The 33-year-old, who spent two years on the books at Ibrox between 2017 and 2019, left Dundee as a free agent last week after spending one season at Dens Park.
Dorrans has now completed his move Down Under an while he won't be lining up alongside Miller anytime soon, the pair will be working closely together as Miller currently serves as the club's assistant manager.
“I’m delighted to be coming over and grateful for the opportunity to play for the club,” Dorrans told the Wanderers' website.
“After speaking with the manager [Carl Robinson] and hearing the vision he has for the club and the way he wants to play, I think it’s a brand of football that really suits my game.
“It’s a league I have watched from a distance and really enjoyed watching it so I’m looking forward to getting over and starting as soon as I can.”
Wanderers chief executive John Tsatsimas added that he was delighted the club could bring in another strong midfield leader.
“Graham is a fantastic professional and has played at the top-level in the Premier League, Championship and Scottish Premiership for over a decade,” he said.
“We look forward to welcoming Graham to our centre of football in Western Sydney and adding his experience, leadership and know-how to our squad.
“We have absolute faith in the signings Carl is making. He understands the areas where he wants to bolster in his squad, and we are actively pursuing these targets.”
