The former player, from Trinidad and Tobago, will begin his tenure on July 1.
"I am extremely excited in what is my first-ever senior full-time head coaching role, to take the reins at Macarthur FC," Yorke said.
"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 improve 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."
Bulls chief executive Sam Krslovic welcomed Yorke to the club and said his achievements 'spoke volumes'.
