Socceroo departs Sydney FC after contract impasse
Socceroos midfielder Anthony Caceres is departing for "continental football" after splitting with his long-time A-League club Sydney FC. Caceres, a Sky Blues great, couldn't come to contract terms to extend his esteemed 216-game career with Sydney. "The Sky Blues made a strong offer to retain Caceres' services," Sydney said in a club statement on Monday. "However the midfielder has a desire to play continental football in a World Cup season and make a move in the best interests of his family." Caceres' influence helped Sydney capture four titles and he made a long-awaited debut for the Socceroos earlier this year. The 32-year-old, who has four national caps, was pragmatic about moving to an as-yet undisclosed club. "I'm incredibly grateful for the love and support ... it has been an honour to wear the Sky Blue shirt and represent such a proud club," he said in a statement. "I've built friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. "This is a pivotal moment in my career and I need to put my family first. "I also want to keep pushing for more opportunities with the Socceroos, with the ultimate dream of a place at the World Cup."
