A-League battlers North Queensland Fury finally have something to smile about after beating newcomers Melbourne Heart to the signature of exciting youngster David Williams.

On a big day for the A-League cellar dwellers, the Fury locked up the budding Socceroo on a two-year deal and striker Dyron Daal until the end of the 2010-11 season.

While North Queensland hardly lack firepower thanks to the presence of Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, the signings would have been music to the ears of coach Ian Ferguson who will be without Daniel McBreen (Central Coast) next season.

“I’ve really liked what I’ve seen from both players,” Ferguson said.

“We’ve signed both of them because we need to have that attacking presence alongside Robbie Fowler and they both bring that.

“They’re both exciting and they give you something extra each time they get the ball.”

Williams, 21, is currently on loan from Danish club Brondby while Daal – a Netherlands Antilles international – is on an injury replacement deal that would have expired at the end of the season.

Williams has been touted for great things since his teenage years and has already earned a senior Socceroos cap while Daal, 26, showed what he could do with a double in last round’s 3-2 loss to Newcastle.

The pair will again be the dangermen for the Fury when they take on Melbourne at Townsville on Sunday night.

“David has already played at senior level for Australia and he’s only 21,” Ferguson said.

“Dyron has been a fantastic find for us this year.

“He came in as a short-term injury replacement and has done a job.

“He does everything you want from a striker.”
