Petar Stazic Strbac, the club’s General Manager, issued a statement on the addition of Michael Hughes (roughly translated from release).
“I expect a lot from Michael Hughes,” he said. “He will be a very important factor in our team. In the past we had selected extremely good rookie players (note: Anthony Clemons, Jonathan Fairell), who then made a top European career and that I expect the same from Michael Hughes.”
