“The last three years at Melbourne City have shaped me so much, both as a player and as a person,” Beach told Melbourne City’s official media.

 

“This club has given me the opportunity to challenge myself every day, improve my game and ultimately fulfil my dream of representing the Socceroos and Australia at the FIFA World Cup. I’ll always be incredibly grateful for that.

“My teammates, coaches and all of the staff have played such an important role in my journey, and I’ll leave with friendships and memories that I’ll carry with me forever. Winning the Championship at (Melbourne Rectangular Stadium) and celebrating with our fans are moments I’ll never forget.

“I want to thank everyone involved at Melbourne City for the support they’ve shown me from the moment I arrived. I’ll always look back on my time here with enormous pride.”
