Slobodan Rubežić has tonight completed a permanent move to Polish side Korona Kielce for an undisclosed fee.

Following his departure, Dons boss Jimmy Thelin explained the move was a good solution for both the club and player.

“Since his return for pre-season Slobodan has made it clear that it is important for him to get regular game time this season. Unfortunately, that is not something we can guarantee him here at Aberdeen and this move, which allows him to be closer to home, will enable him to focus on his next stage of his career.

“Slobodan was a popular figure at the club, and we thank him for his hard work and professionalism during his time with us. We wish him every success”

The 25-year-old Serbian joined the Dons from Serbian SuperLiga club FK Novi Pazar, making 57 appearances and scoring one goal over the two seasons he was at Pittodrie. He spent the latter half of last season on loan at former club FK Novi Pazar.

His performances for the Dons earned him a call up to the Montenegro national team for the first time and then made his debut in a friendly match against Lebanon.

Everyone at AFC wishes Slobodan all the very best with his future career.
