Former Melbourne Victory and Young Socceroos attacker Theo Markelis has returned to his former football home Spain, signing with Racing Santander.
He joins the Spanish club after a brief stint at the Victory, where unfortunately Markelis was not given many opportunities to show his value.
The young footballer originally left for Spain from the age of 15 to join the world-renowned Academy at CF Valencia, where his talent was nurtured alongside teammates and friends David Villa of Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona’s Jordi Alba.
