Igor Kondić gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Igor Kondić has just signed for Dravinja, and for once the answer mattered.

Bozhidar Hristov stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Bozhidar Hristov and Dravinja agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Mateo Koprivc is a Dravinja player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

As if he never left: Nik Rauter returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Nik Rauter is a Dravinja player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Tevž Debelak comes home
The shirt still fits. Tevž Debelak is back at Dravinja, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Tempers go at Dravinja
Žan Luka Žužek 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.

Benjamin Lovric steps up from the Dravinja academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Benjamin Lovric has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Samo Matjaž has outgrown this division
There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Dravinja know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Dravinja ask about Tiijan Zorko
A loan enquiry to NK Celje: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
