MELBOURNE, April 28 (Reuters) - Socceroos defender Ivan Franjic has quit Russian top-flight club Torpedo Moscow two seasons early after alleging unpaid wages, the Australian players' union said on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old, who was part of Australia's Asian Cup triumph and World Cup campaign in Brazil, signed a three-year deal with the Russian team at the end of 2014 but has struggled with injury and only made a handful of appearances.
"The PFA can confirm that Ivan sought the advice of the PFA's lawyers," Professional Footballers Australia said in a statement.
"This followed the repeated failure of his club Torpedo Moscow to honour its contractual obligations to him.
