Wals-Grünau brings back a midfielder! The Western League club announced the signing of Nemanja Zikic on Tuesday evening. The 24-year-old had been without a club since the summer after leaving Kapfenberg and had already played for the Grünau club for one and a half years.

Western league side Wals-Grünau welcome their first new winter signing. Christoph Knaus' team has brought Nemanja Zikic back to Salzburg. The midfielder already wore the Walser jersey between August 2020 and January 2022. He then moved to Kapfenberg in the second division. There he played a total of 59 competitive matches and scored three goals. However, his contract was not extended beyond the summer, which is why he is now available to the Grünauer on a free transfer.

Zikic began his soccer education at the Red Bull Academy, where he played up to U18 level. This was followed by a spell at Ried before he set up camp at Wals-Grünau. He is now back there and is expected to help the team have a more successful spring. After 16 games, Flachgau are in eleventh place with 18 points, the worst of the six Salzburg teams. With Zikic, the turnaround should succeed.
