Australia defender Scott Galloway, and All Whites Callan Elliot and Joe Champness have been named to the Auckland FC roster for its inaugural A-League season.
The trio bring the 'Black Knights' squad to 16 players so far.
Galloway, 29, has played 243 A-League games over a 11-year career, including a season at Wellington Phoenix (2017/18), and two championships with Melbourne Victory (2015) and Melbourne City (2021), where he played last season.
Defender Elliot, 24, has logged 43 A-League appearances for the Phoenix, but left last year and joined Scottish Premiership club Motherwell on a short-term contract in January. He represented New Zealand at the Tokyo Olympics and made his All Whites debut against China in March 2023.
Auckland-born winger Champness, 27, was Elliot's teammate at Tokyo 2020, after switching international allegiance from Australia, where he grew up. He has played for Newcastle Jets and Brisbane Roar in the A-League, but most recently had two seasons in Turkey.
"Between the three of them, they have played more than 400 professional games," said coach Steve Corica. "Scott is obviously the most experienced, having won a decent amount of silverware, and is a real versatile player capable of playing both right and left-back.
"Callan was a regular with the Phoenix and Joey has played internationally in Turkey.
"These are three quality players, who will provide the club with a solid foundation. I'm proud to bring them here and they are just as excited to play for us."
