Pedj Bojić

Predrag "Pedj" Bojić (born 9 April 1984) is an Australian soccer player who last played professionally for Sydney FC.

Club career Bojić's professional career began at Australian club Parramatta Power in the 2000–01 season, where he played for two years. He went to Sydney Olympic and then moved to Northampton in England the following season on a free transfer after a successful trial.

Northampton Town Bojić joined the Cobblers at the start of the 2004–05 season, when he became a first team player. With Pedj playing a part, Northampton reached the play-off semi-finals, where they were beaten by Southend United. Next season, he and the club had more luck. He made 23 starts and 18 substitute appearances and scored four league goals as the club finished second in the league and won promotion.

In the 2006–07 season, Bojić played 30 times in League One. Bojić suffered a hernia injury in January 2007, which kept him out for two to four months and eventually led to the end of his Northampton Town career. He is remembered with fondness at Sixfields as a tough tackling right back who gave his all, and popped up with several spectacular goals.
