Sydney FC's quest for a record-breaking three consecutive A-League<\/a> titles has received an enormous boost, with Brazilian goal-machine Deyvison Rog\u00e9rio da Silva – also known as Bobo – re-signing with the Sky Blues for the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n

The superstar striker, who's nearing the end of his contract with Sao Paulo-based Oeste, turned out for Sydney FC in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, which saw him boot 42 goals.<\/p>\n

Bobo, who will turn 36 next Saturday, has held the record of most goals in an A-League season ever since snaring 27 goals in 28 games in the 2017-18 championship, which earned him Sydney FC's player-of-the-year award.<\/p>\n

He is expected to be available for the Sky Blues' first home match, a clash with the Western Sydney Wanderers at Stadium Australia on Saturday, January 16.<\/p>\n

Bobo says he's rapt to be on the verge of a Sydney FC comeback.<\/p>\n

"I enjoyed every moment of my time at Sydney FC," Bobo said.<\/p>\n

"We had a hugely successful two seasons and I want that again.<\/p>\n

"The club has hardly missed a beat since, winning both A-League titles and the Premiers Plate, and I can't wait to go for three in a row.<\/p>\n

"My family and I still feel like members of the Sky Blue family and for us this is like a journey home.<\/p>\n

"We are looking forward to seeing everyone, particularly all of our members again, and to getting going on another exciting ride."<\/p>\n

Head coach Steve Corica praised Bobo as a prized signing.<\/p>\n

"It's fantastic we've been able to bring Bob\u00f4 back and I hope it will excite our members," Corica said.<\/p>\n

"His goal-scoring record is phenomenal and it means we've now got excellent competition for places among our strikers.<\/p>\n

"The experience he brings will also benefit our young forwards who we want to develop, and they will learn a huge amount from him.<\/p>\n

"I've no doubt we'll see plenty of goals when he plays as he is a proven scorer and will get plenty of service.<\/p>\n

"It's a real coup for us. He'll bring a point of difference and an even sharper edge up front."<\/p>\n
