Perth Glory sign NYL youngster Jukic

Perth Glory have signed Andrija Jukic on a two-year deal.

Jukic was a member of the Glory's National Youth League this season and impressed so much that the club rewarded him with a first team deal.

Coach Dave Mitchell was delighted to be giving the 22-year old an opportunity.

"Andrija is a terrific young player and I have been impressed with the way he has continued to develop in the Youth Team set-up," Mitchell said.

"(Youth League coach) Gareth Naven spoke very highly of Andrija and the effort he made throughout the season both on and off the pitch and that dedication has paid off.

"I'm confident he will be a solid contributor for Perth and make a big impression in the A-League next season."
