Hajduk will loan six young players to Croatia Zmijavci. The players are Raymond Anthony, Peter Ugwuodo, Ivan Ora, Ilija Kutija, Dujam Milišić and Sebastian Kajtazi. According to Index, all of them will have dual registration, which means they will be able to play for both Hajduk and Croatia.
These young players have recently joined Hajduk, while others are Hajduk's youth players who have already played for the youth team. For the mentioned players, this is an opportunity to gain senior minutes and continuity that they have not had in Hajduk's first team.
Croatia Zmijavci finished last season in 11th place, just above the last-placed Jaruna, and the arrival of Hajduk's young players will be important for their squad.
Loans to Croatia are part of a broader strategy implemented by new sports director Robert Graf. Hajduk wants young players to experience senior football, physically demanding matches and the pressure of results, rather than staying without serious minutes between youth and first teams.
For the six players, now begins an important period of development. Hajduk will continue to work on developing its young players, and their arrival in Croatia Zmijavci will be an important step in their careers.
Hajduk's last result was a 2-1 loss to Portugal on July 2, 2026. They are currently in a bad form, with a record of 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses in their last 5 matches. Their next match is against Czechia on September 26, 2026.
