Bentleigh Greens have completed the double signing of winger Vojislav Milojevic and goalkeeper Brandon Osipov for the 2017 NPL Victoria season.

Milojevic signs from Springvale White Eagles, where he scored three goals in 13 games since his mid-season return to his youth club from Avondale FC.

Milojevic made his Springvale debut in 2011 as a 16-year-old, where he later helped his club recover from relegation in the state leagues.

His breakthrough came in the first season of the NPL system in which he netted 10 goals in 25 games in the second tier of Victorian football in 2014.

In between trials at Melbourne City he received an offer to join Anthony Barbieri’s side ahead of the 2015 NPL season.

Injuries hampered his time at Doyle Street Reserve, making 10 appearances over a season and a half.

He comes to Bentleigh after his second Springvale stint, making  a total of 78 appearances, scoring 15 goals at the Keysborough-based club.

Meanwhile, Osipov makes the move to Kingston Heath where he’ll challenge first choice Ryan Scott for a place between the sticks, returning to his former club where he spent his formative years.

The 18-year-old previously made two appearances for Melbourne Victory’s NPL side in 2016.
He has previously had stints at the VIS and NTC and has represented the Joeys.
They become the third and fourth acquisitions of the off-season for John Anastasiadis following the arrival of fellow duo Stipo Andrijasevic and Nick Glavan from Melbourne Knights.
