Butcher confirms Yorke stayNew Sydney FC manager Terry Butcher has confirmed that star former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker Dwight Yorke will be return to complete the final year of his two year deal with the club.
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald Butcher said:” I spoke to Dwight, and he told me he's coming back,"
"As far as I'm concerned it's not a case of if, but when.
"He's been training with Manchester United, and now he's been at the World Cup, so he needs to recharge his batteries.
"He won't be back to start the pre-season cup [July 15], but I'm sure he'll be back by the end of the month.
"He's got a great lifestyle in Sydney, he's got a great club to play for, and the fans absolutely love him. He's an integral part of what I want to achieve, and this is a big year for all of us associated with Australian football."
"He's looked very good during the World Cup - he looked lean, he had great energy levels and against England in particular I thought he was immense.
"But I don't want him in that role for Sydney. I need him further up the park, because he's got too much to offer in the attacking third. He can score goals, and he can set them up. His range of passing is superb. I can put the young legs around him to do the other work."
