Socceroos defender Jason Davidson has set his sights on leading Melbourne Victory to more silverware after returning to the A-League Men club on a two-year deal.
Davidson previously played for the Victory during the 2021/22 season, with his most memorable contribution being the stunning free kick that helped lift the club to Australia Cup glory in February, 2022.
The 34-year-old signed with Belgian First Division side K.A.S. Eupen ahead of the 2022/23 campaign, before joining Panserraikos FC in the Greek Super League.
Victory haven't won any silverware since Davidson's Australia Cup heroics, and the 23-cap Socceroo wants that to change.
"Returning to Victory after three years in Europe is incredibly exciting," Davidson said in a statement.
"I'm looking forward to working with a quality team and the wonderful new coaching staff at the club, with the aim of securing points and ultimately silverware for Melbourne Victory.
"My time overseas has only made me more hungry for success. I intend to bring my best to the team, alongside the rest of the playing group, and help drive success this season."
Davidson earned a surprise recall to the Socceroos squad earlier this year, and looms as a smokey for the 2026 World Cup.
The fullback was part of the Australian outfit that won the Asian Cup in 2015.
Davidson joins Sebastian Esposito, Franco Lino, Keegan Jelacic and Louis D'Arrigo as new arrivals for the upcoming season, along with the re-signings of Roderick Miranda, Santos, Adama Traore, Kayne Razmovski and Luka Kolic.
Meanwhile, Brisbane have signed midfielder Georgios Vrakas from Greek Super League outfit Atromitos FC.
A product of both the POAK and SSC Napoli academies, the 24-year-old made his senior team debut for POAK in the Greek Super League in 2020 before transferring to second-tier side, Levadiakos FC on loan for two seasons.
In 2024, Vrakas made the permanent move to Atromitos FC, where he played for the club on 17 occasions in 2024.
In 2025, the midfielder moved to Athens Kallithea on loan, playing alongside current Roar defender James McGarry.
"I'm happy to commit to Brisbane Roar and moving to Australia to play in the A-League," Vrakas said.
"I believe that my skills and attributes will make me a good addition to the team.
"I can't wait to start putting in the hard work with my teammates and represent the people of Brisbane with pride."
