DJORDJIC AGREES BLACKPOOL MOVE
Posted on: Wed 29 Jun 2011
Bojan Djordjic has become Blackpool's first summer signing ahead of the new npower Championship campaign.
The attacking midfielder, 29, arrives on a free transfer from Hungarian outfit Videoton and has agreed a two-year deal, with the option for a further year.
Having previously worked under the management of Ian Holloway at Plymouth, the former Manchester United and Rangers player is delighted to be back in English football.
"It feels good to be back," the Belgrade-born Swede admitted. "I moved here for the first time in 1999 to join Manchester United and when I left in 2007 from Plymouth - when I was there with Ollie - my plan and goal was always to come back to England. For me it is the number one footballing country in the world.
"I'm really looking forward to this because I'm not 17 anymore, I'm 29 and this is probably my last chance to make it big and show that the talent that was there is still there.
"I don't want to let any people down who have believed in me and I'm really grateful for this chance, especially to Ollie."
Djordjic, who has also played for AIK in his homeland, will meet his new team-mates when reporting for pre-season training on Monday 4 July.
