straight back to the A-League on loan to affiliate club
Melbourne City.
The Premier League side made the surprise signing of
Caceres from the Central Coast Mariners last week, but the
Australian midfielder will remain in his home nation on a
loan deal with the Mariners' A-League counterparts.
The Melbourne-based club, owned by the City Football
Group, confirmed the news on Tuesday.
"Melbourne City has signed midfielder Anthony Caceres on
loan from Manchester City for the remainder of the 2015/16
season," the statement read.
"Caceres, 23, arrives at Melbourne City after playing 62
matches in the A-League with Central Coast Mariners.
"He will link up with coach John van’t Schip’s squad this
week and will be available for selection ahead of the club’s
Australia Day Eve clash against Wellington Phoenix, next
Monday 25 January at AAMI Park."
Van't Schip had previously denied that Caceres would arrive
on loan from the club's Premier League affiliates.
Caceres is one of the hottest talents in the A-League and
will provide a major boost to Melbourne's midfield as it
hunts for a maiden premiership.
Van't Schip's side sits in fourth in the A-League table, just
three points off Brisbane Roar who occupy top spot.
