SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Australia fullback Luke Wilkshire will get his first taste of A-League football at the age of 35 in October after joining Sydney FC from Russian club Dynamo Moscow.

The right back, who has also played for Dutch clubs Twente and Feyenoord since moving to England with Middlesbrough as a teenager, underwent a thorough four-day medical before signing for the Australian champions.
