Kewell joins the Heart

17:59 pm on 5 June 2013

The Melbourne Heart have announced the signing of Socceroos great Harry Kewell for the next A-League football season.

The former Liverpool and Leeds forward will return home after being released by Qatar's Al Gharafa last month at the end of the season, following a barren stint when the 34-year-old, Australia's best-known footballer, scored just one goal in four games.

Kewell had signed a one-year deal with Heart for the 2013/14 season.
