Clube are excited to announce the signing of Marcus Lee.

Marcus follows a familiar path having arrived in Melbourne to study at Deakin University undertaking a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science.

Marcus can play as a centre-back or as a right-back.

As is customary, we sat down with our new signing to find out a little more about him:

So, Marcus, where were you before arriving in Melbourne?

How would you describe your playing style?
Composed, consistent, clinical.

Highlight of your playing career so far?
Captaining the Northern Territory representative side to a tournament in Coffs Harbour while also winning player of the tournament for my team.

You're studying a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science, what would be your ideal career?
I want to be an Exercise Physiologist.

I heard a rumour that you're an Arsenal fan, is that true?

It's true. My favourite teacher at the time supported them.

I assume that you're favourite player is from Arsenal too?

Indeed. It's Bukayo Saka because he has helped revitalise the Arsenal team ever since breaking into the first squad. He’s always been an exciting player to watch.

What's your favourtie football memory as a fan? Given your age I assume it won't be anything Arsenal related?

Clube are thrilled to announce the signing of Hritish Kakati.

Hritish debuted for Clube last Sunday, finding the net within the first 10 minutes only for his goal to be ruled out for offside. He did find his well-deserved goal late in the game

From Hassam, India, Hritish is a forward, capable of playing as either a striker or a winger.

We sat down with our new signing to find out a little more about him:

You're new to Melbourne, what brought you here?
I'm studying a Bachelor of Business (Sports Management) at Deakin University. I want to work in the industry one day.

You certainly impressed in your debut match, where have you previously played?
Verve FC based in Delhi.

Any highlights from your career in India?
Captaining my School team to an All India Inter-School tournament.

Do you follow professional football? Who do you support?

Bayern Munich (I just love their style of play, fast quick paced counter attacks and lethal in front of goal).

What about a favourite player? I think I can guess.
Indeed it is Robert Lewandowski. I love his positioning and his understanding of the situation. He’s always at the right place at the right time and of course who can forget his 5 goals in 9 minutes. I think that game made me fall in love with him.

What about outside of Football? Any hobbies or interests?
I have been inclined towards sports from a very young age, I played cricket and I was a sprinter as well growing up. I love to paint and music really helps me channelise all my energy.

Are there any other interesting facts about you not already mentioned?
I love animals! Most of my family are involved with wildlife, they’re wildlife biologists and as a result I have inherited that love for animals.

Deepu Abraham becomes Clube's latest signing. A specialist wing-back, Deepu also has the ability to play in the midfield or drop into Centre-Back when required.

Deepu most recently played for Thornbury Athletic and also for the Latrobe University team and hails from Kerala, India.

We sat down with Deepu to get to know our latest signing a little better.

So, what brought you to Melbourne.
Studies. Specifically a Masters on Sports Administration. Before that, I was an engineer who left the job and industry to try work in sports and football.

You're naturally a wing-back, how would you describe your playing style?

Confident, attacking footballer.

Which professional teams do you support?
Manchester City - I never followed any particular EPL team as such growing up, but enjoyed the league (I didn't have much chance to watch much football or TV growing up due to funny family rules). I started following City after I moved to Melbourne 5 years back and started following Melbourne City FC through which I came to know a lot about Manchester City culture and about their communities - and hence also picked City as my club in EPL.
Also, Real Madrid (I'm a hard core Zidane fan growing up) and AC Milan (just because someone gifted me AC Milan jersey when I was young, my first international jersey).

So, Zizou is your all-time favourite player? Why is that?
His control, vision and courage.

What about as a player. What's your best achievement?
Winning the Australian University National Championship with the La Trobe University team.

Can you describe your playing style in 3 words?
Smart, Playmaker, quick.

What professional club(s) do you support. Is there a backstory?
Chelsea. I have always supported them mainly since one my favourite players growing up was Eden Hazard which caused me to start following Chelsea.
Melbourne Victory. I have followed victory my whole life after going to my first game when I was very young and loved how they played and still go to many games.

So, who's your favourite player then?
Until he retired it would have to be Archie Thompson, After seeing him play he instantly became my idol, the way he would always find the back of the net was great to watch. Also, Archie had a lot to do with my old club Murray United and he even played a season with them which also was great to experience.

Being a Victory fan must come with some good memories. Care to share?
My favourite memory is Besart Berisha scoring the first goal in the 2014/15 A league grand final was an experience I’ll never forget.

What about as a player, what's your best moment?
Playing up an age group back in 2018 and scoring two goals was the best feeling I have felt as a player definitely.

I enjoy most sports and also music.
