Croatia Sesvete to trial Austrian defender

Austrian footballer David Feiner has arrived for a test with Croatian side Sesvete in top Croatian national league HNL.

Feiner had been playing as a defender for Austrian third-league side SV Würmla.

The 20-year-old, who joined Würmla from Admira Wacker II in 2008, arrived for a test after Sesvete’s signing of Austrian coach Adolf Pinter, the first-ever Austrian football coach in the top Croatian league earlier this month.

Croatia Sesvete from the northern town of Sesvete are currently last in the 16-team league after garnering just seven points in 17 matches.
