Milos Ninkovic extends contract with Sydney FC

Milos Ninkovic has agreed to a new two-year deal with Sydney FC, the A-League side announced on Thursday.

Ninkovic’s decision to extend his contract is a timely support for newly-appointed coach Steve Corica, who takes over from Graham Arnold.

“Sydney FC is my home and my family, and I’m so happy to be staying a Sky Blue,” Ninkovi said on Sydney FC’s official website.

“I’ve enjoyed some of the best moments of my career here, I’ve won four titles in three years, and my family loves this city too.

“It’s fabulous to be staying here with this fantastic group of players and I know we will have another great year.

“I’m excited by the journey ahead in the new season and I can’t wait for the silverware still to come.”

Ninkovic has made a total of 99 appearances for Sydney FC in all competitions, scoring 24 goals in the process, and claimed the 2016/17 Johnny Warren Medal for best player of A-League.
