striker signed

Dundee United today announced, subject to international clearance, the signing of 26-year-old Austrian striker Darko Bodul on a two-year deal.

Previously at Austrian Bundesliga outfit SC Rheindorf Altach, he joins United after catching the interest of Jackie McNamara whilst United were in the Netherlands for a training camp.

Capped at both Under-19 and Under-21 level for Croatia, Darko has an Austrian passport, and was regarded as one of the biggest attacking talents when he secured a two-year deal with Ajax in 2009.

His career since leaving Ajax has witnessed top level football in Denmark with Odense Boldklub and in Austria with Sturm Graz as well as with Rheindorf which finished third last season.

A delighted Jackie McNamara said, “Darko is an experienced quality striker. We have been chasing several strikers this summer but once it became apparent we could secure his signing, this was one we wanted completed quickly.

“He is a technically gifted, skilful and a penalty box goal scorer. I am excited about seeing him wear the United kit and he will entertain and excite our fans.”

Darko said, “This is a new, exciting chapter for me. The reputation United has for developing careers is an obvious appeal but first I want to come in and claim my place in the team. I can do that by scoring goals.

“I met with the Manager over in the Netherlands and saw how United was set up with the vision for the future. If I score the goals which make the fans happy, we will enjoy good times together. I cannot wait to meet up with my team mates and play for the Club.”

United play Watford at Tannadice on Saturday 25 July in the final pre season match and this will be the first chance to see Darko appear in a United line up at Tannadice. Tickets for this match are available in advance: online here, by telephone on 01382 833166 (option 1 or 3) or in person at the ticket centre in Tannadice Street.

Re: striker signed

If we can add Snidjer, a goalkeeper, and even a centre half then this would give me a tiny bit more hope for the new season.

Re: striker signed

Don't want to get too excited about this boy after seeing his goals on YouTube there.  I remember seeing a compilation of Roy O'Donovan's goals and thinking he was gonna be the business and well we all know how he turned out!  Does look a good player from thos clips though, really hope he does well.
