Socceroos World Cup hero Mitch Duke is on the move in Japan, signing with J2 side Machida Zelvia ahead of the 2023 season.

It follows the veteran scoring the winner for Australia versus Tunisia in Qatar in the group stages.

The Socceroos stunned the world in the Middle East, beating the Africans and highly fancied Denmark to reach the round of 16, where they lost to eventual winners Argentina. 

Duke, 31, was on the books of Fagiano Okayama the past two campaigns, where he scored 11 goals in 49 appearances in the J2 competition.

Machida Zelvia will be Duke's third club in Japan, with the striker also having spent three seasons at Shimizu S-Pulse between 2015 and 2018.
