Sydney FC Head Coach Steve Corica said Ninkovic’s signing was a great positive for the season ahead.

“You’ve seen over the last three seasons what a player Milos is,” Corica said.

“His influence both on and off the pitch makes him such a great asset for this team, and to have such a fantastic creative outlet in the squad is a big bonus.

“I’m expecting him to be one of our key orchestrators next season and I’m glad that we’ve been able to retain another one of our core group of players.”

Ninkovic has made a total of 99 appearances for the Sky Blues in all competitions, scoring 24 goals in the process, and claimed the 2016/17 Johnny Warren Medal for best player in the league.
