Versatile defender Michael Marrone is set to finish his Hyundai A-League career with Adelaide United after signing a new deal with the club on Thursday.
The 32-year-old was off contract at the Reds at the end of the season but has penned a one-year contract extension.
“It’s a great feeling knowing my future is here in my hometown,” Marrone told Adelaide's official website.
“I’ve always been heavily invested in the club and I want to always see us doing well."
Marrone, who started his Hyundai A-League career in Adelaide in 2008, has been a pillar of the Reds team since re-joining the club from in 2014.
He has made 161 appearances for the club in all competitions over those two stints and has been a model of consistency.
Able to play both at right-back or in central defence, Marrone has been involved in Adelaide's most successful squads, helping deliver two FFA Cup titles as well as a historic Hyundai A-League Premiership-Championship double in the 2015/16 Season.
“I loved winning another trophy earlier this season in the FFA Cup and I’m hopeful of more success later this campaign and next," Marrone said.
