He was also between the sticks for the Young Socceroos during the recent AFC U/19 Championships, playing in every match.

Delianov becomes the club’s 14th signing and the third this week after the club added Turkish international defender Ersan Gulum and former Caltex Socceroos striker Scott McDonald.

In what has been a massive few days for the new club, who also unveiled their new logo on Wednesday.

Delianov’s addition continues United’s policy of securing some of Australia’s brightest young prospects, with the likes of Sebastian Pasquali, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos and Dylan Pierias already joining the club.
