HONG KONG – Australian soccer club Sydney FC said on Wednesday that their A-League championship-winning striker Adam Le Fondre has left the team on loan. He is expected to sign for Indian Super League side Mumbai City.
Le Fondre helped Sydney win the A-League Championship in 2019 and 2020. “I’ve had two fantastic years here at Sydney FC and have cherished every moment of my life in Australia,” Le Fondre said on the official website of the club.
“We’ve had an unbelievable group of players over the last two seasons and a squad of great people. I will miss them all hugely.”
The striker, who was with Bolton Wanderers and Reading, netted 18 goals in his first season with Sydney as they trounced Perth Glory in the A-League Grand Final. He scored another 21 goals in the recent campaign helping the club win the title a second time.
“Adam has had an unbelievable couple of years with the club and has had a huge influence on our squad,” said Sydney head coach Steve Corica.
“He has barely missed a minute of football since arriving and has shown true commitment in every second on the pitch; his performances have been second to none.
“To stand in his way would not be just reward for the service he has given us, and we wish him the best.
