Genuinely two-footed and comfortable playing on both the left and right side of defence, Kim Soo-beom's versatility will prove an enormous asset as Perth set out to defend their maiden Hyundai A-League Premiership.

A disciplined and calming presence in defence, the 28-year-old ex-Jeju United stalwart can also set pulses racing in more advanced wide midfield roles.

He could very well slot straight in to the vacant wing-back role left by Jason Davidson’s departure, but is a candidate to excel in any position across the three-at-the-back formation which served as the bedrock of Glory’s 2018/19 Premiers Plate triumph.
