Melbourne Victory has bolstered its defence for the upcoming season, signing Olyroo Giancarlo Gallifuoco from EPL side, Swansea.
Gallifuoco captained Swansea's Under-21 team last season, but rejected an offer to continue playing in the Under-21 side.
The 21-year-old played for Tottenham for two and half years in the U21 Premier League before joining Swansea last season.
