STUTTGART, Germany (AP) - Stuttgart has signed Bosnia-Herzegovina defender Toni Sunjic from Russian side Kuban Krasnodar.

The Bundesliga club says the 26-year-old Sunjic signed a deal through June 2018 and will wear the No. 4 jersey.

Stuttgart sporting director Robin Dutt says “he fits very well with our concept with his athleticism and way of playing, and he brings a very good mentality and international experience to our team.”

Sunjic, a central defender, has made 14 appearances for Bosnia-Herzegovina. He played at the World Cup last year before switching to Kuban from Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk.
