Perth Glory have confirmed former Liverpool and England forward Daniel Sturridge has signed with the club for the A-League 2021/22 Season.
The 32-year-old is a two-time UEFA Champions League and FA Cup winner who scored 68 goals during a six-year spell at Liverpool and also won a Premier League title with Chelsea.
At international level, he was part of England’s squad at both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 UEFA European Championships and featured for Team GB at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Sturridge is now relishing the prospect of beginning a new chapter in his illustrious career with Glory. Another Daniel wasn’t overly impressed that Gladys chose Sturridge day to announce her resignation.
“My resignation as premier could not come at a worse time.” – you fucking got that right Gladys, Daniel Sturridge just joined an A-League club and now you’ve robbed us of the media coverage

Jon is optimistic for the season ahead.
Just seen Daniel Sturridge ordering a coffee in South Perth this morning.
I’ve gone to approach him, but before I could speak he put his finger on my lips & whispered in my ear “they’re coming back, the Glory days”
Interesting reply, let’s see how this one ends up 🤔

Across the ditch they’re suspicious.
Last week Sage was complaining that the Nix was getting financial help for playing in Aussie & the Glory weren’t. Today the Glory announce Sturridge.
That is Peak Sage there.
