Just 18-year-old Arjan Malić is increasingly making a name for himself in neighboring Austria. The young talent played 17 matches in the fall season for SV Ried, where Nik Marinšek also plays, and has caught attention. The club’s management has not overlooked his good performances, and Arjan Malić has signed a new contract with his employer, which is expected to be valid until 2027!
“I have known Arjan for more than three years, and I have been able to follow his development since the U16 period. His personality on and off the field is exceptional for such a young player. He can operate under pressure and overcome his personal limitations. This is what we look for in our young players. We are pleased to have succeeded in retaining a player who has been educated in our football academy,” said Ried’s sports director, Wolfgang Fiala, upon signing the new contract with Malić.
Arjan Malić, who regularly plays for Slovenian youth national teams, added: “I have been playing for Ried since I came to Austria, almost ten years ago. This is my club, Ried’s DNA is in me. So, I am very happy to have now extended my contract. I want to continue playing as many matches as possible, and I hope we will soon advance to the Bundesliga. Most importantly, I want to continue developing. I have been doing very well in that regard lately – I thank the entire team; without this team, it definitely wouldn’t have gone so well for me. I am very happy that things have turned out this way.”
