Socceroos great Tim Cahill is expected to seal his return to English Championship club Millwall this weekend, British media is reporting.
Cahill is reportedly flying to England this weekend to secure a return to the club where he began his senior professional career in 1998.
Cahill, 38, walked out of A-League outfit Melbourne City last December.
The South London Press, citing sources, says Cahill will finalise his return to Millwall at meetings this weekend.
“Lions boss Neil Harris … is very keen to add him to his squad for the Championship run-in,” the South London Press is reporting.
“… He is expected to jet over so that the finer details of his switch can be wrapped up.”
Harris is a former Millwall teammate of Cahill, who is desperate to find another club to press his claims to play at a fourth World Cup this year.
Cahill scored 57 goals in 242 games with Millwall before transferring to the Premier League in 2004, where he spent eight seasons with Everton.
Stints with New York Red Bulls, Shanghai Shenhua and Hangzhou Greentown followed before he returned to Australia and Melbourne City in 2016.

Brings back old memories for Cahill. I would just ask for him to score a final world cup goal before he retires.

Millwall's strikers can't score so makes sense. Good for James Meredith who is at Millwall. Cahill might draw the new management team to Millwall games and Meredith might catch their eye.

Raging against the dying of the light.

Millwall aren't in contention for promotion or relegation so why not?
