All Whites striker Shane Smeltz has signed with A-League club Perth Glory for three years.

He'll join the club for the next A-League season beginning later this year.

Glory owner Tony Sage claims Robbie Fowler has also agreed to play on with the club for another year.

Smeltz, who played with Gold Coast last season and also scored a goal for New Zealand in last year's World Cup, joins Travis Dodd, Dean Heffernan, Danny Vukovic and Evan Berger as new signings at the Glory.

Smeltz will become Perth's international marquee player, while Fowler will be classed as a normal player under the salary cap.
