Daniel Bogdanovic is set to become the first major signing of the close-season as the naturalised Maltese striker has already agreed to join Valletta.

Interested in Bogdanovic, who played for Naxxar Lions last season, were also Birkirkara and First Division champions Marsaxlokk.

After playing for Sliema Wanderers last season, Bogdanovic had joined Vasas SC in Hungary on a free-transfer together with Orosco Anonam. After playing, and scoring regularly, in friendly matches, he only made a couple of short appearances in league matches before having to return back to Malta when the bankrupt club was no longer able to honour his contract and pay his salary. The Yugoslav striker joined Naxxar Lions where he had an impressive season, scoring eleven goals, although the team was relegated to Division 1.

As part of the contract, Bogdanovic is bound to form part of the coaching staff of the Valletta FC Youth Nursery.
