Marked for Jack Neeley

48 Edition

The NK Varazdin Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Oliver Zelenika

116 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. NK Varazdin lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

David Puclin asks to leave NK Varazdin

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Real improvement from Jack Neeley at NK Varazdin

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jack Neeley is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market

NK Varazdin get their man

The chase for Gianluca Cangiano ended with $200.0K changing hands and Imotski out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Petar Bočkaj in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at NK Varazdin this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Luka Mamić has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Tomislav Duvnjak hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what NK Varazdin can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Mateo Barać keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” NK Varazdin may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Jack Neeley gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jack Neeley has just signed for NK Varazdin, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Varazdin

Tomislav Duvnjak was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Business is business: Ivan Mamut goes

Slaven Belupo paid $520.0K and NK Varazdin took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad

Aleksa Latković falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief

21 Edition

The Charlotte Football Club Sentinel

21 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Archie Goodwin stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Archie Goodwin and Charlotte Football Club agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words at Charlotte Football Club training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Schnegg is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

The manager has not finished forgetting Kristijan Kahlina's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief

  • Squad Jack Neeley has become a man the manager trusts
