VEKIC HEADED FOR HK
25/07/2011
First team goalkeeper and fans favourite Nenad Vekic has spoken exclusively with the Olympic Ultras on his shock transfer to Hong Kong First Division side Tuen Mun FC.
The up and coming shot stopper has been in good form for Olympic with a solid run in the first team before veteran Paul Henderson’s return from A-League duty matched in the regular season with some solid performances in the under 20s.
Keen for a move, Vekic made his performances count and made himself heard, getting into contact with former Red Star great Dejan Antonic, now coach of the Hong Kong national team.
“I spoke with Dejan Antonic, he played for Yugoslavia when they won the under-21 World Cup in Chile in 1987,” said Vekic.
“We had a chat, he saw my highlight video and that’s that, I’m off at the end of the month.”
First stop for young Nenad will be to fight for a first team place for Hong Kong First Division side Tuen Mun FC, where Antonic is also the head coach.
Before leaving for the Orient however Vekic made sure he spoke with the Ultras and thanked the team and the fans.
“Now that it’s all been finalised I just wanted to thank Sydney Olympic for their support, they really helped to get me over there,” Vekid mentioned, adding that “I really just wanted to publicly thank George [Giannaros, SOFC President], the community, and the whole Sydney Olympic family.”
When instructed by the Ultras for him never to forget the club or their support, Vekic smiled, adding “Olympic are the best club in Australia, I wouldn’t play anywhere else.”
The Olympic Ultras sincerely thank Nenad Vekic for his contribution as both fan and player of Sydney Olympic, and wish him all the best in his endeavours overseas.
