Australian defender Connor Chapman has signed with Pohang Steelers with countryman Oliver Bozanic no longer joining the club.
Bozanic was expected to join the K-League outfit on a two-year deal after being released late November by Japanese club Ventforet Kofu, but the deal has reportedly collapsed.
Chapman joins the Steelers after a stint with Incheon United.
