Watford FC is delighted to confirm that Danish forward Mileta Rajović has joined the club on a five-year deal from Swedish top-flight club Kalmar FF.
The 24-year-old, who stands at 6ft 3in, is a towering, physical presence who also possesses plenty of technical ability, arriving at The Vic as a prolific goalscorer.
Rajović began his footballing career at youth level with Brøndby and Randers in his native Denmark, enjoying short spells across the Danish football pyramid at B.93, HB Køge and FC Roskilde.
It would be at Næstved Boldklub where Rajović would hone his goalscoring craft, hitting an impressive 30 goals in 58 matches, finishing the campaign as league top goalscorer and earning promotion to the second-tier in his first season at the club.
Subject to plenty of interest from beyond Denmark, Næstved received a club record fee to release Rajović to Swedish top-flight side Kalmar, where the imposing striker hit the ground running, scoring five goals in his opening four matches in the Swedish Cup.
Now in the Swedish Allsvenskan, Rajović had been a consistent marksman for Kalmar, etching his name onto the scoresheet against Armenian side Pyunik Yerevan in the UEFA European Conference League qualifiers this summer.
With the Swedish football season having commenced in March, the Dane has played as recently as August 20 and will look to add his attacking prowess to Valérien Ismaël’s Hornets side.
Rajović will wear the number nine shirt and is eligible to play against Blackburn Rovers this Sunday (August 27).
Welcome to Watford, Mileta!
