Mrcela has been signed until the end of the season as an injury-replacement player for captain Rhys Williams, who is sidelined with a hamstring tendon tear.

The 31-year-old was part of the Perth Glory side who claimed the 2019 Premiers Plate before moving to Indian side East Bengal.

The Perth-born defender also enjoyed spells in South Korea and Croatia.

Mrcela watched the Wanderers' 2-0 win over Melbourne Victory from the stands at Commbank Stadium on Wednesday and could come into calculations for Sunday's away game with Western United.

"I'm really excited to finally be here, it's a privilege to be part of a big club like this and I can't wait to get started," Mrcela said.

"It's nice to be part of this club and play with those passionate fans behind you. Hopefully they can push us to some success this season.

"I hope I can bring experience and leadership, I think we have a really good team with good characters and good leaders inside."
