“I am extremely excited in what is my first-ever senior full-time head coaching role to take the reins at Macarthur FC,” said Yorke.
“Having played in the inaugural A-League men’s season, I have continually followed the competition and am aware of both the footballing and fan demands in Australia.
“I look forward to adding a positive contribution and improving the game at all levels. However, of course my primary focus will be with the Bulls, to deliver them success and a style of football that defined me as a player.”
Yorke, a former Trinidad and Tobago international, scored 123 goals in the English Premier League while playing for Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City, Sunderland, and United.
