BERLIN, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Hertha Berlin have signed Mathew Leckie from relegated Ingolstadt, both sides announced on Monday.

The "Old Lady" bolstered up their offense with the signing of midfielder Leckie, who put pen to paper on an undisclosed contract.

"With his 26 years he is a seasoned Bundesliga professional. He can help us with his experience in the coming season," Berlin's sporting director Michal Preetz said.

Hertha's new arrival has played in Germany since 2011. He played first at Monchengladbach before he joined Ingolstadt via FSV Frankfurt.

After three years, and ten goals in 94 competitive appearances for Ingolstadt, Leckie decided to stay in Germany's top flight and agreed on a transfer.

His new club completed the season on the 6th position, which ensured a place in UEFA Europa League.

Leckie has been since 2012 part of Australia's national team where he provided five goals in 39 caps ever since.
