Under-siege Wellington Phoenix have signed Fulham's young Australian striker Corey Gameiro on loan until the end of the A-League season.
Gameiro, 20, had an outstanding under-19 AFC championship, remarkably scoring all six of Australia's goals at the tournament to help them qualify for the 2013 under-20 World Cup.

A hard-working speedy forward, Gameiro has recently been on loan with top Dutch club FC Eindhoven where he made eight appearances.
The Phoenix are struggling in ninth place on the A-League ladder, and have won just five games from 20 starts.
They were destroyed 5-0 by competition leaders Central Coast Mariners in Gosford on Friday night.

Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert says he's delighted to secure Gameiro's services until the end of the season, and his arrival will add pace and depth to the squad.
Herbert says the youngster's signing is another step in the further development of the club.
"It's important to establish relationships with clubs around the world and it's exciting that we are now forming one with an English Premier League side,'' he said.
"Having players coming this way is good for the future of the club.''
The Phoenix will be seeking an international clearance for Gameiro on Monday and he should be available for the trip to Brisbane Roar next week.
