Colin Stripling is seizing an opportunity like never before, and it’s uncertain whether he would have had such a chance under different circumstances. However, there’s no doubt that Stripling has benefitted from the fact that Mura has formed a partnership with businessman Georg Juncaj. The American owns the club Michigan Stars, from which Colin Stripling moved to Fazanerija.
The 29-year-old defensive midfielder, who has never played in Europe, has switched several clubs in the United States. Although he did not make it to MLS, he has played most of his career in NISA, which is considered the third-tier league in the US.
“Colin shows great desire to prove himself and has a fighting spirit that is important for any team. He is a player with good character traits and always fights to the last ounce of strength. That’s why we decided to offer him a chance for the autumn part of the season. Naturally, we both hope that he will prove himself during this period and stay longer,” said Mura’s director Agron Šalja after signing a one-year contract.
Colin Stripling added to the club’s official website of the Prekmurje club: “I’m excited to join Mura and help the team achieve its goals. I’ve learned all about the club, I know its history, and I hope we can achieve as many wins as possible this year and make the fans happy with good performances.” While Colin Stripling is not the only Michigan player invited to train at Fazanerija, he is currently the only one to have secured a contract.
