Nikola Katic signs for Argyle

Argyle have made a second defensive signing of the day, clinching Bosnian international Nikola Katic on loan from Zurich until the end of the season.

Prior to joining the Swiss side in 2022, Katic had played for Hajduk Split, Rangers and Slaven Belupo, among others, and has also represented his country six times.

Standing at 6 foot 4, the 28-year-old will add international and European experience to Miron Muslic’s defensive options.

Muslic is thrilled to sign a second defender in the same day, commenting: “Nikola joins us with excellent pedigree having represented his country and played European football.

“He will add further height and defensive strength to our options but most of all showed a real desire to be a part of Argyle for the rest of the season.

“I have said before that I want players in the squad who want to be here, and Nikola showed exactly that.

“I’m really happy he has joined us and want to welcome him to Argyle.”

Argyle Head of Recruitment Jimmy Dickinson added: “We have assessed options that fit the way Miron wants to play, and we are really pleased to bring Nikola in.

“He is an excellent defender and will bring height and physicality to our defensive options.

“Having added Maksym and Nikola today, we have added two defenders with international pedigree, and both will bolster the squad significantly as we head into the rest of the season.”

Nikola will wear the number 25 shirt for Argyle. Should EFL approval and international clearance be received, he will be available for selection for tomorrow’s game against West Bromwich Albion.
