FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Soc perth glory re sign star import for two more years - The Untold Story

Former Manchester United midfielder Tom Lawrence has set his sights on snapping Perth Glory's seven-year finals drought after signing on for a further two A-League Men seasons.

Lawrence was a huge hit in his first season in purple, scoring five goals and providing two assists across his first 13 games before suffering a season-ending foot injury.

The 32-year-old's biggest highlight was a hat-trick in a shock 3-1 away win against Melbourne City in round 10.

Lawrence's signature comes hot on the heels of Glory re-signing captain Adam Taggart, Jaiden Kucharski, Stefan Colakovski, Sebastian Despotovski and Giovanni De Abreu.

Coach Adam Griffiths has also signed on for a further two years.

Glory haven't played finals since finishing sixth in 2019/20 under then-coach Tony Popovic, but Lawrence feels they have the pieces of the puzzle to challenge next season.
