SYDNEY (Reuters) - Former Australia fullback Luke Wilkshire will get his first taste of A-League football at the age of 35 in October after joining Sydney FC from Russian club Dynamo Moscow. Wilkshire was part of the 'golden generation' of Socceroos who played in Europe's top leagues and took Australia to the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. A stalwart of the Australia defence for a decade from 2004, Wilkshire previously played under Graham Arnold when the Sydney FC boss was in charge of the national team. "I had a great working relationship with Luke in the national team and I look forward to doing so again." Sydney FC open their title defence in a re-run of last season's championship final against Melbourne Victory on Oct. 7.
