Albeit a brief stint in Australia, New York City captain David Villa remembers his time in the A-League fondly, with the Spanish star striker still keeping a keen interest in Melbourne City.
Before playing a competitive game for MLS expansion franchise New York City, Spain's all-time leading goalscorer was sent to sister club Melbourne - a subsidiary of the City Football Group - as a guest player, scoring two goals in four appearances.
"It's a good league. It is growing. It is competitive," Villa told Omnisport.
"I enjoyed my time there. I'm very happy to have had the experience.
"I watch sometimes. It is difficult because of the time difference – but I like watching the Melbourne City games."
