Signing news: Speedster commits to Adelaide

Nikola Mileusnic has signed a two-year contract extension with Adelaide United, the club confirmed today.

The Adelaide-born attacker, 25, has pledged his future to the Reds until the end of the Hyundai A-League 2020/21 campaign.

Having initially struggled to nail down a regular position following his 2016 signature, Mileusnic – a former White City, Western Strikers and West Torrens Birkalla youth – has established himself as a key first-teamer for Marco Kurz’s side this season.

He has scored four goals and provided three assists for the Reds, and famously scored a stoppage-time winner against Brisbane Roar in February’s 4-3 win as Adelaide became the first Hyundai A-League team to win a game in normal time after being three goals down.

“Playing in front of my family and friends each week is a dream come true for me, and knowing I’ll have the opportunity to continue doing that for another two seasons makes me very happy.

“There’s still a lot to play for this year and we’re all doing our best to bring more success to this great club.”
