"As far as my future is concerned, I don't have any immediate plans, but I would like to wish the club the best of luck in the forthcoming campaign."
Maclaren played 38 matches and scored 11 goals for Glory during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 Hyundai A-League seasons.

Iraklis stear clear of bad boy Bulut - reports
The forward with distinctive tattoos and a troubled past remains a free agent after leaving the Wanderers, with a Greek side believed to be put off a potential deal
Kerem Bulut has reportedly missed out on a contract at Greek club Iraklis over concerns about his fitness and character.
The striker is without a club after leaving Western Sydney Wanderers following a brief spell with the A-League side in the second half of the 2014-15 season.
The 23-year-old served notice of his potential worth by netting five goals in nine appearances for the Pirtek Stadium outfit before moving on at the end of the campaign.
A report in Greek publication Gazetta claimed poor results in a fitness test and questions over Bulut's temperament may have been behind the second-tier outfit's decision not to offer the livewire forward a contract.
Capped by Australia at Under-17, Under-20 and Under-23 level, the former Sydney FC youth team player spent three years at Czech club Mlada Boleslav and one season at Turkish side Akhisar Belediyespor, with a loan spell at Karsıyaka.
He has a reputation for getting into trouble off the field, having been charged in relation to gang offences in 2010.
He was again charged by police with intimidation in March over an incident in a fast food restaurant and stood down for one match.
Although later cleared, it appears Bulut's record of courting controversy may be counting against him in his search for a new club.
