Perth Glory have ruled out making a move for Stoke City forward Michael Owen, preferring instead to find a younger player to replace departed marquee striker Billy Mehmet.

Former England international Owen has so far failed to make an impact since joining Stoke in the English summer and his agent explored a switch to the A-League in the January transfer window.

But the Glory have no interest in the 33-year-old.

"Michael is a player who comes with a high pedigree but it's not the direction I want to take the club," Perth coach Ian Ferguson said in a statement.

"I am looking for a younger player and a player who has been playing more regularly.

"I have three or four irons in the fire that I am pursuing, which is good.

"In terms of Michael, there was contact from an agent if we were interested, it was discussed at a good level, but I have made the decision he is the not the player needed at Perth Glory."
