Austria's Janko leaves Sydney FC

Austrian international striker Marc Janko will leave Sydney FC when his contract expires at the end of this month, the club said Sunday.

Janko, 31, was the A-League's Golden Boot winner last season, scoring 16 goals.

"Marc has done very well this season and we were happy with his performances and his contribution to Sydney FC," club coach Graham Arnold said in a statement.

"However he will miss a number of A-league games next season due to international duty, with no FIFA breaks in the A-League.

"Add that to our busier schedule, including Asian Champions League commitments, and after lengthy consideration we have come to this decision.

"On behalf of the club and the team I'd like to thank Marc for his service and the professional way in which he has conducted his business.

"We wish him and Austria all the best for the future."
