Ivezic ready to make his mark under new boss Reedijk

Marko Ivezic is impressed by new Hibs head coach Marink Reedijk and has declared himself ready to make an impact after a disrupted start his Easter Road career. The Serbia cap has yet to make his debut since arriving earlier this month from German second-tier side Holstein Kiel. Ivezic revealed he was suffering from illness, but is now ready for action under David Gray's successor Reedijk, who is working with the squad at a training camp in Spain in preparation for his first game in charge against Dundee United on 10 October. "I was ill and then I started two weeks to progress and train harder, so now I'm ready maximum to train and be an option," the 24-year-old told Hibs TV. "I think this is a perfect opportunity for all of us because it's a new coach and we are all together here. We don't have a lot of time like normal pre-season so this is perfect for the ideas of the new coach and to be ready for next week. "You can see already his idea of football, directly playing, so I think it fits perfectly for us." Ivezic, who won his solitary Serbia cap in 2023, has top-flight experience in Germany and his homeland and sees moving to Hibs as the ideal opportunity to advance his career. "This is a perfect step for me," he said. "For me, this is the next step and I really look forward and want to give my maximum here and to bring my experience and to improve. "I'm looking really forward to play for this club and especially in our stadium. It's very nice and I feel happy because I'm now training normally with the team. "I've already watched a few games, two in our stadium, so I'm really excited to play and wear this jersey." [BBC]
