Milicevic to make a glorious return? Ljubo Milicevic in his time with the Newcastle Jets. Photo: Simone De Peak Former Melbourne Victory and Newcastle Jets centre back and ex-Socceroo defender Ljubo Milicevic could be poised to re-ignite his A-League career at Perth Glory, the club where the now 32-year-old made his name in the game as a youngster. And young Australian striker Brent McGrath will be training with Melbourne Heart on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, who has been capped at senior level by Holger Osieck, is a free agent having left his Danish club Brondby at the end of last season. The rumour mill this afternoon is rife that Melbourne Knights defender Milicevic is in Western Australia talking with Glory coach Alistair Edwards about linking up with the club for whom he starred in the old National Soccer League. Edwards could not be contacted this morning for comment, but sources indicate that a deal could be on the cards. Milicevic is an outspoken, often controversial figure who sometimes polarises opinion with his pronouncements about footballing matters - and on other social and other off-field issues. But there is no doubt that the 1.93cm centre half is one of the more talented ball-playing defenders Australia has produced in the past decade, even if his career has delivered less than it promised when he captained the Olyroos through the qualification campaign for the 2004 Olympic Football tournament. Milicevic was plagued both by periods of depression and injury early in his career when he moved to Europe, and he has led a peripatetic footballing existence in recent years, when he has played in Switzerland, Croatia and Australia.
