Guessing that Ivanjica would be quite a culture shock...

According to Transfermarkt he was born in Croatia and is a dual national Croat-New Zealander. So obviously Croatia and Serbia are very different, but apparently he's Eastern European so not as much of a culture shock as if he were born and raise in Waikato or something.

Mitchell was born in NZ, and has pretty much spent most of his life here. He does have a Croatian mother as far as I know (or maybe she just has Croatian heritage, I'm not 100%). Neither country is actually in Eastern Europe, and they're actually quite different culturally. Furthermore, Ivanjica is a very small town in the backwoods of Serbia, so it's not really a place like Belgrade or Novi Sad where he could fit in relatively easily.

But other than that, yeah OK.

As a reminder see above. And my mistake the loan deal to the rural Serbian Div 1 side Ivanjica fell over.

Out of interest OFK Belgrade finished dead last, 2016-2017 season and were relegated. So his time there would have been challenging on and off the field.

Anyway good luck to him at Bolton
