The 32-year-old said his decision to head back to the United Kingdom wasn’t an easy one, but his family’s interests need to come first at this time.

“It was a tough decision; football is a selfish career…and I made a selfish decision to try something new to come over here, give a new experience to the wife and kids,” Austin said.

“We’ve enjoyed our time here however our eldest daughter is back home going through exams, and I just feel for myself and for the family the best thing to go back to the UK.”

He went on to play 10 matches across the Australia Cup and Isuzu UTE A-League where he scored five goals.
