Roar coach Mike Mulvey on Sunday said that the versatility of the Asian Cup hopeful, who is most at home in the midfield, made him an ideal addition to Brisbanes squad.
At their second attempt, the Roar convinced Utrecht to agree to a season-long loan deal for Sarota, who has been on the outer since the start of the cheap coins fifa 15 latest Eredevisie campaign.
Cairns product Sarota last month told The Courier-Mail of his frustration at Utrechts initial decision to reject the Roars loan bid after selling teammate Jens Toornstra to Feyenoord.
Brisbanes a great club and would have been a perfect fit, said Sarota, who made 15 A-League appearances for the Roar between 2008 and 2010 before being sold to Utrecht.
But his disappointment has turned to joy after the Roars persistence finally paid off on Saturday.
Absolutely buzzing to have the opportunity to play for the @brisbaneroar this season, Sarota tweeted before leaving the Netherlands for Queensland.
Were picking up a quality player who has been a full-time professional for six years, Mulvey said.
Hes nearly 26, a ripe age, and he can play in many positions in the squad.
Sarota no doubt will be hopeful of cementing a spot in the Roars three-man midfield, with Irishman Liam Miller perhaps looking over his shoulder more than Socceroo Matt McKay and emerging star Luke Brattan.
But Mulvey hasnt ruled out using Sarota elsewhere, including the fullback spot vacated by Ivan Franjic, now at Torpedo Moscow.
Absolutely buzzing to have the opportunity to play for the @brisbaneroar this season, Sarota tweeted before leaving the Netherlands for Queensland.
There was a similar buzz at Roar training on Sunday about the snaring of Sarota.
