A-League club Melbourne Heart have signed Socceroo attacker David Williams on a three-year deal.
Williams, 23, becomes the Heart's second key signing in the space of two days after Brazilian midfielder Fred joined on Tuesday.
Williams has played twice for his country and has long been rated one of Australia's brightest young talents.
The Queenslander played for the ill-fated North Queensland Fury last season.
He also played with Danish club Brondby as well as having a short-term stint with Sydney FC in the Asian Champions League this year.
Heart chairman Peter Sidwell said he was thrilled with the club's recruiting, particularly signing Williams - one of few Indigenous Australians to have represented their country in soccer.
"He's a gun. He's one of those boys who is going to be really something in this competition over the next few years," Sidwell said.
The Heart now have 21 players on their books for the upcoming season, which starts in October.
Football operations manager John Didulica said the Heart were likely to sign one more player, then keep one place open in the 23-man squad to eventually promote a player from the club's youth team.
