Aston Villa goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic has joined Hajduk Split on a season-long loan deal.

The goalkeeper will spend the 2021/22 season back at his boyhood club, following an impressive loan spell during the second half of the 2020/21 campaign.

Kalinic kept 11 clean sheets in the league following his return to the Poljud Stadium in January, including a run of four successive shutouts to complete the season.

The 31-year-old joined Aston Villa in January 2018 from Belgian side Gent, making eight appearances for the club.
