Lamberton, who will wear number nine on his back, is set to pair with his NPL striking partner Jordi Swibel up front.
His team-mates also include the likes of Young Socceroos goalkeeper Duro Dragicevic and Joeys captain captain Ryan Teague.
They will be guided by Giancarlo Italiano, a man who has previously worked with Lamberton as part of the under 20s squad.
