Western Sydney Wanderers head coach Alen Stajcic welcomed Josh to the club.
“It’s great to bring an experienced defender with both excellent A-league and European knowledge as we head into the final stages of the season to fight for a Finals position.”
Defender Josh Laws said he was eager to help the club move up the ladder over the next few weeks.
“I’ve been playing overseas for a couple of years and knew that when I came back, I would want to play for a passionate club like the Wanderers. I grew up here in Sydney so I’ll enjoy having family and friends in the crowd as well,” said Laws.
“Wanderers has always been a tough team to play against and you felt the energy of the supporters driving the team on. You can see how much it means to the members and fans, so I’m excited to be playing for them now.
“I want to get straight into training and playing, help get the club up the ladder where it belongs and have success this season.”
Laws has arrived in Western Sydney today.
