ACE have made two more key additions to their senior squad for the 2016 season.
Coach Pouria Nabi has signed centre back Rowan Heggie, who was with Moreton Bay United last season, and midfielder Takeru Saito.

Saito made his name at the age of 18 joining one of the top universities in Japan and then captaining a side in Division Four of the J-League.
Pouria said he was delighted to secure both players for the BPL and FFA Cup campaigns.
“Saito has a strong mental and works hard,” said Pouria, “he battled and can control the game. He will play a crucial role in our upcoming journey 2016.
“ Heggie did not get too many chance to be involved with Moreton Bay United last season.
