BRISBANE Roar have signed Serbian international striker Andrija Kaluderovic until the end of the season.

BROICH WANTS TO BETTER ‘RUBBISH’ SEASON

Kaluderovic, 27, has joined Roar after a short stint with Swiss outfit FC Thun, and played against Brisbane in the AFC Champions League during his time with Chinese club Beijing Guoan.

Pending an expected successful medical, he will fill the foreign player spot that was this month vacated by Macedonian international Mensur Kurtishi, who failed to live up to the lofty heights set by former Roar marksman Besart Berisha.

“For that opportunity to be with the champions of Australia is a great honour,” said 27-year-old Kaluderovic, who is waiting for his visa papers to be approved.

“This will be a new experience for me and a new challenge. I look forward to it.”

Kaluderovic joins German defender Jerome Polenz and former Australian under-23 international Luke DeVere as Brisbane’s January transfer window signings.

It’s expected that Kaluderovic will arrive in Queensland this weekend, but Roar director of football Ken Stead said it was too early to say whether the former Red Star Belgrade and Racing Santander forward would be considered for Brisbane’s clash with Wellington at Suncorp Stadium on Monday night.
