Culina to return home from PSV

Jason Culina has announced his intention to leave PSV Eindhoven when his contract expires this summer and join Gold Coast United in his native Australia on a three-year deal.

'Fresh start'
"For me this is a huge new challenge, a fresh start," said the 28-year-old, who reportedly turned down offers from PSV and NK Dinamo Zagreb to remain in Europe. "I'm eager to promote the [A-League] and to help it move on to a higher level. Players have returned from Europe before, but only at the end of their careers. But first I want to give everything for PSV." Culina has won three Eredivisie title since joining PSV from FC Twente in 2005 but could be denied a fourth this term as the champions are eleven points behind AZ Alkmaar at the halfway point.
