Junior, 32, currently plays for Palmerias in Brazil after signing from Qatari side Al-Rayyan last year. He has played for Bayer Leverkusen, Leeds United and AC Milan, where he won the 2003 UEFA Champions League.
Junior was also part of the victorious 2002 World Cup Brazilian team.
Denilson Oliveira Araujo, 31, was another player in the 2002 World Cup for Brazil. The left winger has had stints at Real Betis and Bordeaux, and most recently at Palmeiras with Junior.
Another motivator for the duo was the signing of Robbie Fowler to North Queensland Fury. Fowler and Junior crossed paths at Leeds in 2003.
"Players of the calibre of Roque Junior and Denilson can only add credibility and spectacle to our A League," said John Denison, Director of Entourage Football, the company representing the Brazilians in Australia.

Jos Vtor Roque Jr. (born August 31, 1976 in Santa Rita do Sapuca) more commonly known as Roque Jnior, is a Brazilian football defender. He has won 48 caps for Brazil and was part of the winning squad at the 2002 World Cup.
Club career
He has played for So Jos, Palmeiras, A.C. Milan, Leeds United F.C., A.C. Siena, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and MSV Duisburg. His greatest success in club football came with playing for A.C. Milan, with whom he won the 2003 UEFA Champions League. Although successful on the international stage for Brazil, he did not make it into the Brazilian squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup due to injury. He is devoted to helping So Jos Esporte Clube's youth players with a project called "Projeto Primeira Camisa" in English "Project First Jersey".[1]
His loan spell at Leeds was extremely mixed. He played 7 games for the club, during which they conceded 24 goals. He also was sent off on his home debut against Birmingham City. However, he did score two goals in a Worthington Cup game against Manchester United (Leeds lost 3-2).
