Vidosic, 29, was selected in the Australian Under-20 football team that competed in the 2006 AFC Youth Championships in India. He will link up with fellow Aussies, James Troisi, and Michael Thwaite at the Panjin, Liaoning Province-based Chinese outfit, which is currently in 10th spot in the CSL.

It has been reported that the entry of Vidosic to the Northeast Tigers could force his fellow Australian footballer Troisi out of the club. The 27-year-old Socceroos winger has just managed to play three matches in an injury-riddled spell in China's top flight.

Liaoning will be the third football club of Vidosic in as many years after his short rein with the Wanderers and the Switzerland's FC Sion.

He is the 13th player to depart the Wanderers since last season. Coach Tony Popovic is reportedly planning to rebuild his team again despite taking the Australian team to the final in 2015-16.

Along with Vidosic, Popovic will be without fellow attackers Golgol Mebrahtu, Mark Bridge, Romeo Castelen and Federico Piovaccari.
