Speedy winger Adrian Zahra is on the lookout for a new A-League home after being cut loose by Perth Glory.

Zahra made 18 appearances and scored three goals for the Glory since being signed by then-coach Ian Ferguson back in 2012.

The former Heart winger struggled to cement his place in the team this season, with new coach Kenny Lowe opting to let Zahra go.

Strikers Ryan Edwards (Reading) and Darvydas Sernas (Gaziantepspor) have also left Glory after the end of their loan deals.

The future of star striker Shane Smeltz and international marquee William Gallas remain up in the air.
