Dundee United have signed keeper Mark Birighitti from Central Coast Mariners. The A-League club announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning that the 31-year-old shot-stopper is heading to Tannadice for an undisclosed fee.
He will become new boss Jack Ross ' third capture of the summer following the arrivals of Dylan Levitt and Steven Fletcher. Ross is preparing his side for a Europa Conference League third round qualifier against either AZ Alkmaar or Tuzla City and has now added a replacement for Benjamin Siegrist after he departed as a free agent to join Celtic.
As well as several clubs in Australia, Birighitti has previously played for Swansea City and NAC Breda, with Mariners chief Richard Peil admitting last week that the keeper's departure has left him "shattered". It's believed the clubs agreed a six-figure fee for the experienced star and that he was keen to move to the Scottish Premiership, despite Mariners offering him a new contract.
