‘I’m available’: Sturridge fit and ready for A-League season opener

The former Liverpool star was all business on Monday as he was presented to the media for the first time - in person, at least - as a Perth Glory player and the A-League’s newest marquee attraction.

Sturridge might have been bored out of his mind but made plenty of headlines during his stint in hotel quarantine. First, he publicly lamented the need for having to do it at all as a fully-vaxxed traveller. Then came his tongue-in-cheek search for an experienced barber in Perth. “Only put your CV forward if you’re top level. Shaky hands I rebuke you,” he wrote on Twitter last week.
