manager Harris, 46, has opened up about how he found out the devastating news, while he also spoke glowingly about the brilliant young shot-stopper.
In an interview with the club, he said: "First thoughts have to go with Matija’s parents and his brothers."Getting the call at 7am first thing on the weekend, you know it’s not going to be positive news."But you could never imagine the devastation in the moment that you find out that such a good man at such a tender age has lost his life.
"He had a great summer. He performed so well for his nation against Belgium and had been to his brother’s wedding."As a character in the training ground, every day, win, lose or draw, he came in with a smile on his face. "I can’t praise him highly enough as a human being in the time I knew him, but also as a professional as well.
