Damir is a veteran of the PASL having played for the St. Louis Illusion. He is also a mainstay for local amateur soccer powerhouse NK BIH.

"This is a marquee signing. We are extremely pleased to have a player with Damir's experience and skill. He is a special player that can beat players one-on-one and he can combine well with his teammates. Damir has superior technical skill and a very high soccer I.Q.
