Dandenong City have announced the signing of former Dandenong Thunder forward Amir Osmancevic in addition to the capture of Ross Frame from the Oakleigh Cannons.

Osmancevic moves to Frank Holohan Soccer Complex from cross-town rivals Thunder following his release by the NPL2 East league leaders last Sunday.

The 21-year-old has 10 goals in 12 league games to his name this season, two of which came against his new employers in Round 2, with the striker instrumental in a 4-0 drubbing of 10-man City by providing a further two assists.

His blistering early season form saw him grab a brace in each of his four opening games, in addition to another double in the Thunder’s 3-0 FFA Cup round 4 win over Werribee City.

Osmancevic is in line to make his debut for his new club in today’s visit to Churchill Reserve, where Hajduk take on sister club St Albans Saints.

Another player who could feature for Aaron Healey’s men this afternoon is fellow new signing Frame, who featured 14 times for Oakleigh this campaign, scoring twice.

The Welshman takes up the visa position left by recently departed English forward Ashley Cattermole, who netted 20 goals in his time with the Endeavour Hills based club after joining them in 2015.

City also confirmed the departure of former Bentleigh Greens and Heatherton United midfielder Chris Sanita, who leaves the club after an 18-month spell.

Hajduk sit fourth on the NPL2 East standings and could move level on points with third placed Box Hill with a victory today over Dinamo who stand fifth on the NPL2 West ladder, four points adrift of first-placed Melbourne City.
