Ivan Franjic completes Russia move

Australian international defender Ivan Franjic completes a move to Russian outfit Torpedo Moscow.

Brisbane Roar defender Ivan Franjic has sealed his switch to Russian Premier League club Torpedo Moscow.

The 23-year-old will link up with his new employers once he recovers from the hamstring injury that he sustained with Australia at the World Cup.

"Today's announcement is the result of four weeks of negotiation with Ivan's new club and we're satisfied with the final structure of the deal," Roar managing director Sean Dobson told reporters. "This is a fantastic opportunity for him to continue his career development by playing in an overseas league.

"He has played a big part in our recent success, playing over 100 games for Brisbane Roar and we thank him for being a loyal servant to our football club over the past five years."

Franjic won three A-League titles during his stint in Brisbane.
