Inverness Caledonian Thistle sign Australian defender hours before transfer window deadline

Inverness Caledonian Thistle have signed Australian defender Nikola Ujdur on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old defender joins Inverness after playing his full career so far in Australia playing in the Youth A-League with Canberra United and playing in the National Premier League NSW with Northbridge, Sydney Olympic and, most recently, Rockdale Ilinden.

Ujdur, who also holds a Croatian passport has passed the SFA Tribunal Panel requirements and has international transfer clearance from FIFA for the player who is currently in Australia awaiting the completion of his UK work visa application, after which he will link up with the squad.

Speaking about signing for Inverness, he said: “I am delighted to be joining Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC. My goal aligns with everyone at the football club and that is to get this great club back to the Scottish Premiership as soon as possible. I am fully aware of some historic moments at this Football club, most notably the 2015 Scottish Cup win. I can’t wait to start working with the manager and my new team mates.”

Earlier today, Inverness Caledonian Thistle signed defender Morgan Boyes on loan from Livingston until the end of the season.
