Town have confirmed that former Manchester United man Frederic Veseli has signed a two-year deal with an option for a further season following his trial. Yesterday, TWTD revealed that 20-year-old was set to undergo a medical and was closing in on a move to the Blues having been released by the Premier League champions at the end of last season.
Veseli, who plays at right-back, centre-half and in midfield, joined up with the Town squad at their training camp in Ireland where he impressed manager Mick McCarthy.
After briefly being sidelined by a hamstring injury, he was back with the squad again at the weekend and played for 45 minutes at right-back in Tuesday’s friendly at Gillingham.
McCarthy told the club site that Veseli turned down other clubs to sign for the Blues: "Freddy has done very well in his time here. He had other options but we are delighted he has agreed to join us.”
A Swiss international at U15, U16, U17 and U18 levels, Veseli joined the Red Devils from rivals Manchester City in January 2012.
He was previously a youth player with hometown club FC Renens and FC Lausanne-Sport. He is yet to make a senior appearance for any of his clubs.
