Nikola Djoric.

**[FC Hegelmann](https://balticfootballnews.com/?page_id=2406 "FC Hegelmann") has announced the signing of Nikola Djoric. The Serbian center-back lastly played for the Austrian Bundesliga side Austria Klagenfurt.**

The 24-year-old center defender is a product of the **Rad Belgrade Academy**. He made his first team debut during the 2020/2021 season and quickly became a regular starter, playing in 22 matches for **FK Rad** in the Serbian Super Liga, although his team was relegated that season.

After spending another season in the Serbian Prva Liga, Djoric signed as a free agent with the Austrian Bundesliga side **Austria Klagenfurt** in the summer of 2022. He made 14 appearances for the club during his first season. However, in the winter, he was loaned to Croatian top-tier team **HNK Šibenik**, where he added another 16 appearances.

Last season, Djoric returned from his loan but struggled to secure a regular spot in the lineup, making only 12 league appearances. Towards the end of the season, he was unable to be selected for the squad due to an injury.

**FC Hegelmann**, who finished second in the **A Lyga** last season, will play their first pre-season game this Saturday against the Baltic Football Academy team.
