The former Wellington Phoenix striker Corey Gameiro will remain in Australian football's A-League next season after signing a two-year deal with Sydney FC.

The 20-year-old, previously contracted to English Premier League club Fulham, played seven games last A-League season while on loan to Wellington Phoenix.

He's also spent time with Dutch club FC Eindhoven.

Gameiro will join Sydney at the end of Australia's under-20 World Cup campaign in Turkey and will get to play alongside the former Italian international and world cup winning striker Alessandro Del Piero.
