MICHAEL Zullo has more silverware in his sights after re-signing with Sydney FC for a further two years.
Zullo was one of 11 Sky Blues players coming off contract at the end of this season, but the left back was quick to extend his contract, with more re-signings expected in the next few days.
The 29-year-old has established himself as one of the best left backs in the A-League after playing an integral part in the Sky Blues’ record breaking season last year and he hopes the records continue to fall this season.
“I’m hungry for even more titles, I’m excited to continue growing as a player and person on and off the field and assume even more responsibility within the club,” Zullo said.
“It’s an honour to be remaining a Sky Blue for a further two years.”
Zullo was targeted by rivals Western Sydney Wanderers, but he insists there is no better place to be than where he is.
“Sydney FC offers me everything on and off the pitch that you could ask for,” he said. “It’s the biggest and best club in the country and there is nowhere else I’d rather be playing my football than within the family environment we have here.”
Graham Arnold is delighted to have Zullo on board for the next couple of seasons as the Sydney coach starts planning for the future.
“Michael is one of the integral cogs in our defensive unit and it’s pleasing to have him on board for another two seasons,” Arnold said.
“He’s a fantastic player to work with and his presence within the playing group only brings out positives.”
The Sky Blues are eight points clear at the top of the A-League table and travel to Adelaide on Sunday confident of extending their lead.
