Meldin Dreskovic will play for Nyíregyháza Spartacus FC until the end of the season. The central defender joins the Hungarian first division club on loan.
Paul Fernie: „Understandably, Meldin wants significantly more playing time than he has accumulated with us so far, and most likely would have received in the upcoming second half of the season. The loan move to Hungary is a sensible solution to give him regular playing time again. He knows the Hungarian league and has already shown promise there, and we naturally wish Meldin the best possible success for the remainder of the season.“
Dreskovic joined Darmstadt from Hungarian first-division club Debreceni VSC just over a year ago, and the 27-year-old has made two competitive appearances for the Lilies.
