Apostolos Stamatelopoulos is now a Motherwell player, joining the Scottish Premiership side from Newcastle Jets on a three-year deal.
The Greek Australian joins the Well after an undisclosed transfer fee was agreed between the clubs and subject to an international clearance.
He also had an option for a fourth season and will hope to consolidate his spot in the national team.
Stamatelopoulos broke Newcastle’s record for most goals in a season with 17 last term as he also earned his international debut with the Subway Socceroos against Palestine in June.
This is the second time the 25-year-old has embarked on a move abroad following a two-year spell in Greece with A. E. Rodos and PAS Giannina F.C before returning to the A-League ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
“It’s great to finally say I’m a Motherwell player,” Stameatelopoulos said via the club’s website.
“I was at the game on Sunday and got a real feel for the place. Seeing all the fans together and the boys playing, I just wanted to get out there.
“It’s been a long journey to get here but I can now focus on making an impact. I’m here to score goals, that’s my job. I will do my best to fulfil that.
“The boys have been brilliant and it’s been great meeting all the staff. I can’t wait to see what’s in store ahead.”
The Jets allowed their star player to pursue the overseas opportunity to “further increase his chances of selection for the Socceroos”.
The striker featured in the A-League All Stars squad that faced English Premier League heavyweight Newcastle United in May.
