He spent the second half of last season on loan at his former club, FK Novi said: "Since his return for pre-season Slobodan has made it clear that it is important for him to get regular game time this season. "Unfortunately, that is not something we can guarantee him here at Aberdeen and this move, which allows him to be closer to home, will enable him to focus on his next stage of his career."Slobodan was a popular figure at the club, and we thank him for his hard work and professionalism during his time with us. We wish him every success"

Dundee 'very close' to new signings after Digby sidelined

Dundee head coach Steven Pressley is hopeful that he will be able to add to his injury-hit squad before the transfer window Paul Digby is the most recent player to be sidelined, after he was ruled out for six their Scottish Premiership match with Kilmarnock this weekend, the head coach said new additions are likely to happen following their trip to Ayrshire."It's highly unlikely to happen before the weekend but we have a couple of targets we are very close on that we believe will happen," Pressley said: ."One of them being a midfielder that we think will come in early next week. Both ourselves and the club want it to happen, the player wants it to happen, it's just a matter of timing."And we have also not got an agreement in place with a club, but we believe we are getting close to that, for a player in another position."I think it will make a big difference. Competition for places creates consistency of performance. I want players to be under pressure to keep their positions. That type of environment breeds success."I don't want too big a squad. I want a squad of players that are very much manageable and feel part of it, but I want them to be breathing down each other's shoulders to be playing."Digby has been an ever-present since joining from Cambridge and played the full game as Dundee drew at Ibrox last time out."Paul Digby, who played exceptionally well against Rangers and has been a pivotal player, has a calf injury," Pressley said. "It could be anything up to five, six weeks before we see him return. So that's a big blow."
