\nBERLIN:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bayern Munich<\/a> have signed 17-year-old Nestory Irankunda, a rising star of Australian football, the Bundesliga champions announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The forward, who turns 18 on February 9, will join Bayern from Adelaide United on July 1 next year on a long-term contract.<\/p>\n

“Nestory is an extremely quick winger, a strong dribbler and finisher with good drive towards goal,” Bayern’s director of youth development Jochen Sauer said.<\/p>\n

“We’re convinced by his potential and that he will take the next steps with us.”<\/p>\n

Irankunda, who was born in a refugee camp in Tanzania after his parents escaped fighting in their native Burundi, has already represented Australia at Under-17 level.<\/p>\n

He trained with the Socceroos, the senior national team, in March and was added to the squad for games against Colombia and Ecuador but featured in neither match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
