Brisbane Roar have received a shot in the arm ahead of the 2011/12 A-League season with the signing of promising young attacking player, Kofi Danning.
An Australian representative at under 20 and 23 level, Danning was released last month by Sydney FC.
Roar coach Ange Postecoglou says he is delighted to add the 20-year-old to his championship-winning squad.
"Kofi is someone we highlighted at the end of last year and I think he'll fit into our system well, so it's pleasing that he's finally signed for us for a couple of years," Postecoglou said of Danning committing to a two-year deal.
"We've got a lot of work to do with him but he fits into our style of game really well and I think he'll develop into a real attacking weapon for us over the next 12 months.
"We're quite confident in the style of player he is and the type of person he is, so I'm sure he'll do really well for us."
The Ghanian-born right winger/striker showed enormous potential when he burst onto the scene in early 2009 for the Sky Blues.
But a serious knee injury the following season scuppered his progress and Sydney eventually cut him and three other players after a disappointing 2010/11 when it failed to make the finals after winning the premiership the previous season.
"I've spoken to Ange and he sees me developing here and sees me improving my game and sees me getting opportunities, which is good for me because that's all I want," Danning said.
"I want to prove myself to everyone. That's why I've come to Brisbane to do the best I can and to make people proud."
