Dundee United have secured the services of 22-year-old Australian forward Zac Sapsford from Western Sydney Wanderers on a three-year deal, awaiting final approval.
Sapsford, an Australia Under-17 international, previously found the net 11 times in 43 appearances for the Wanderers.
His arrival is a crucial move for the Tangerines, who needed to replace the significant goal threat left by Sam Dalby. Dalby, who was on loan from Wrexham, bagged 15 league goals last season, including a vital penalty on the final day that secured a 4th-place finish for the Terrors. He has since made a permanent move to Bolton Wanderers.
Manager Jim Goodwin expressed his satisfaction with the early acquisition of Sapsford, praising him as a “dynamic forward” with a “killer instinct” in front of goal. Goodwin highlighted Sapsford’s ability to score with either foot or his head, as well as his knack for intelligently involving his teammates in play.
