The one-time national youth league player of the season last played in the Hyundai A-League for Western Sydney Wanderers in 2018, before joining Croatian team Inter Zaprešić.
Lustica won the Premiership and Championship double with Brisbane Roar in 2013/14, and also played for Adelaide United and Gold Coast United.
“Steven has shown his quality since he’s been here and we’re looking forward to having him part of the group for the rest of the season," said Western United coach Mark Rudan.
