Kolkata, July 22 (IANS) Croatia-born Australian footballer Dario Vidosic on Monday joined two-time Indian Super League (ISL) champions ATK to strengthen their midfield, the club said in a statement.
Vidosic is an attacking midfielder who also doubles up as a winger. He started his career in the A-League, signing a two-year contract with Queensland Roar for the 2006-07 season.

In 2009, Vidosic made his debut for the national team in their last World Cup qualifier against Japan.
In 2006, he was selected in the Australian Under-20 squad and competed in the 2006 AFC Youth Championships in India. He played for the Australian Under-23 team in 2007 in an Olympic qualifier in Adelaide, scoring the 11th goal in Australia’s 11-0 win over Chinese Taipei.
“Dario is an experienced campaigner and a wonderful addition to the team. I am looking forward to working with him and create a strong attacking midfield that will support the strikers ably,” ATK head coach Antonio Habas said.
“I am happy to have signed for ATK. This will be exciting and a new experience for me. I am hoping that I can help ATK lift the Cup again,” Vidosic said.
