Dejan Radonjic stays at Austria Vienna: contract extended until 2027!

FK Austria Wien has taken a significant step in its squad planning: central defender Dejan Radonjic remains loyal to the traditional club and has extended his contract by two years until the summer of 2027. The official announcement was made on Friday evening, and with it the 19-year-old player is back in the fighting team of the club where he began his career many years ago.

Radonjic came to Austria as an eight-year-old and has since developed into a talented defender. In the last two seasons he was under contract with SV Stripfing in the ADMIRAL 2nd league, where he played a total of 51 competitive games. During his time in Stripfing he was able to establish himself as a support and gained some valuable experience that he can now bring back to Vienna-Favoriten. His decisive goal in the ÖFB Cup round of 16 against SK Rapid, which led to a 2-1 lead, is particularly memorable.

Strong return

On June 23rd, Radonjic and the fighting team will start preparing for the coming season. Sports director Manuel Ortlechner emphasizes that Radonjic not only has robustness and duel strength, but can also boast numerous appearances in the starting eleven in the 2nd league. These attributes are central to the central defender position and give hope for a promising future.

Promoting young talent is very important in Austrian football, which is reflected not least in the developments in clubs like FK Austria Wien. A look beyond national borders makes it clear that other professional football clubs, such as those in Germany, also invest significantly in supporting their youth. These investments are not just limited to men's football, but also include women's sports, according to data recently released by the DFL.

With Radonjic, FK Austria Vienna has brought a promising player on board who will not only provide stability in defense, but also further strengthen the club's youth work. It remains to be seen how the young team will fare in the coming championship cycle. In any case, the fans can look forward to exciting preparations in which Radonjic and his colleagues will show what they are made of.

In summary, the club is pleased about the extension with Radonjic and sees this decision as part of a strategy to retain promising talent in its own club in the long term and use it in a targeted manner. The start of the new season on June 23rd could present an exciting challenge for the talented central defender and the club.
