Granted, Istra aren't the greatest side - finished bottom half of the Croatian top league every season since promotion in 08/09, finishing second bottom quite a few times too (surviving thanks to one-team relegation), 6th out of 10 this season (comparative to us) . But he was a regular for Slaven Belupo, a better team, between 2014 and 16, and let's not forget the Croatian league ain't half bad! A level above the A-League I'd say, much more ferocity in defence. Solid signing!
