The welcome from fans, the quality of the facilities and the ever-increasing quality of football continues to be a source of immense pride.<\/h3>\n<h3>\u201cI want to thank Melbourne City, the players and the staff, and especially the fans. It was amazing to help bring the first piece of silverware to this Club, and this makes me very proud. My experience here has been great and I have enjoyed contributing to the culture inside the Club, being asked to take on a leadership role and, most importantly, being able to mentor a lot of the younger players &#8211; something I will continue to do in the future. I wish the Club, Head Coach, players and all the fans all the very best for the rest of the season.&nbsp; It\u2019s never easy to say goodbye but it was great to win last weekend and make a contribution, and also to have the Club sitting third in the league.<\/h3>\n<h3>\u201cQualifying for the World Cup has been a great adventure, and it would be a massive honour to represent my country in Russia.
