Signing Details
St Johnstone announced the acquisition of Bosnian left-back Enes Alic on a two-year deal. The move came just days after his former club, Zeljeznicar, initiated disciplinary proceedings on 18 August, demanding that Alic "fulfill his contractual obligations" and asserting that he remained their player.
Player’s Reaction
Alic welcomed the transfer, saying, "I am very happy to be here. St Johnstone is a great club with great traditions and supporters. I can't wait to play my first game. I have heard a lot about the Scottish Premiership. There is a lot of passion and high intensity in this league. It is a hard league, but I want to test myself. I am ready to go. The fans can expect speed, shooting and crossing, I like to attack the space. I like to defend first and foremost but I do enjoy getting forward too."
Club’s Perspective
St Johnstone’s management emphasized the club’s tradition and the opportunity for Alic to showcase his defensive solidity and attacking flair in the Scottish Premiership. The club highlighted the player’s speed, shooting and crossing abilities, noting that his willingness to attack from the left flank will add depth to the team’s defensive options.
Future Outlook
With the contract now in place, Alic is set to integrate into the squad for the upcoming season, aiming to contribute both defensively and offensively as St Johnstone seeks to strengthen its left-back position.
