Brisbane Roar has agreed to mutually terminate the contract of winger Rocky Visconte effective immediately.

Head Coach Mike Mulvey thanked Visconte for his contribution and commitment to the club.

ā€œRocky has worked hard at training since I arrived at the club and we wish him the best of luck for the future,ā€ Mulvey said.

ā€œThese decisions are never taken lightly, but we felt it was the right thing to do at this point in time.

ā€œAt this stage of his career Rocky needs to play first team football and he was not likely to figure in our first team plans.”

Visconte-s contract was due to expire at the end of the current season, having joined the club for the start of the Hyundai A-League 2010/11 season from Scottish Premier League outfit Heart of Midlothian.

The Adelaide-born winger made 24 appearances for the club, but has not featured in Brisbane-s Hyundai A-League match day squad this season.

Brisbane Roar fans will fondly remember Visconte-s contribution to the 2011 Grand Final success as he played a key role in the lead-up to the corner which saw Erik Paartalu score a dramatic late extra time equaliser.
