Astrit Agim Ajdarević (Albanian pronunciation: [asˈtrid ajˈdarevic];[1] born 17 April 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder. Currently a free agent, he most recently played for Akropolis IF. Having represented the Sweden U17, U19, U21, and Olympic teams, he made his full international debut for Albania in 2017.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Born in Pristina to Albanian parents originally from Medveđa, he moved with his family to Sweden in 1992.[2] The family name was Hajdari but since his father played in Yugoslavian league, they switched it to "Ajdarević".[3] His father Agim Ajdarević was a member of FK Spartak Subotica in the Yugoslav First League in the 1980s and 1990s, and moved to Sweden in 1992; he later signed with Falkenbergs FF.[4]

His younger brothers, Arben and Alfred, are also footballers.[5] Ajdarević said he considers himself Albanian.[6]

Ajdarević is married to Albanian model Mimoza Ponosheci.[7] In September 2018, he became a father when Mimoza gave birth to twins.[8]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Ajdarević began his career in 1996 in his adopted nation of Sweden. He first played for Rinia IF, and later signed with Falkenbergs FF, where he played in the 2006 season, making five appearances for the side.[2]

Liverpool FC

[edit]

On 5 December 2006, Ajdarević completed a second trial at Liverpool and transferred soon afterwards to the club, having impressed the club's coaching staff.[9] He made his Liverpool youth team debut in the FA Youth Cup victory against Reading in January 2007.[10] However, Ajdarević was unable to make a breakthrough into the first team at Liverpool.[11]

Loan to Leicester City

[edit]

Ajdarević joined Leicester City on trial in January 2009 and signed for the Foxes on the loan signing deadline for football league clubs on 26 March 2009 until the end of that season, when the Midlands-based club had the option to sign him permanently.[12] He made his debut as a second-half substitute replacing Max Gradel after 70 minutes of Leicester's 2–2 draw with Carlisle United at the Walkers Stadium.[13]

Leicester City

[edit]

On 30 June 2009, Ajdarević joined Leicester permanently having been released by Liverpool, signing a one-year deal.[14] However, Ajdarević struggled in the first team at Leicester City and a result, he went on trial at Brighton & Hove Albion.[15]

Loan to Hereford

[edit]

After a trial, Ajdarević joined Hereford United on loan until the end of the season, linking up with Leicester teammate Craig King on 25 March 2010.[16] Ajdarević made his debut for the club on 3 April 2010, where he came on as a substitute and played 16 minutes, in a 2–1 win over Barnet.[17] This turns out to be his only appearance for Hereford United, as he suffered a hamstring injury.[18]

Release

[edit]

On 17 May 2010, Ajdarević was released by Leicester City, along with Stephen Clemence, Levi Porter, Robbie Burns, Carl Pentney, Billy Kee and Alex Cisak.[19]

Örebro SK

[edit]

Ajdarević returned to Sweden in June 2010 and trained with Örebro SK[20] before being offered a contract with them in early July.[21]

Ajdarević made an impact on his debut when he scored his first goal for the club on 18 July 2010, in a 3–3 draw against IF Elfsborg on 18 July 2010, which was followed up in the next game on 26 July 2010 against Elfsborg for the second time this season, which Örebro win 3–0.[22] Later in the 2010 season, Ajdarević scored two more goals against Brommapojkarna, which saw them draw 1–1 on 25 October 2010,[23] and Göteborg, which turned out to be his last appearance on 1 January 2011.[24] Ajdarević established himself in the first team at the club, where he scored five times in thirteen appearances.

IFK Norrköping

[edit]

Ajdarević used a contractual clause that allowed him to find another club after the 2010 season had ended[25] and despite Örebro SK's attempt to keep him by offering a new contract, IFK Norrköping managed to sign a long-term deal with the midfielder.[26] Previously, Ajdarević had also been linked with a move to Italian side Cesena.[27][28]

Ajdarević made his debut for the club, in the opening game of the season, in a 2–0 win over GAIS.[29] In a match against his former club Örebro SK on 25 May 2011, Ajdarević was booed by Örebro's supporters throughout and even displayed a banner about him, which saw IFK Norrköping lose 2–0.[30] Ajdarević then scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–2 draw against BK Häcken on 10 June 2011[31] and his second then came on 27 June 2011, in a 2–1 loss against Kalmar.[32] Ajdarević went on to score two more goals later in the season against Trelleborgs[33] and Halmstad.[34] Like at Örebro SK, Ajdarević established himself in the first team and had a successful season at Norrköping, where he made 29 appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2012 season, Ajdarević was linked with a move to Champions side Helsingborg, but the move never came for it.[35] In the opening game of the season, Ajdarević set up a goal for Gunnar Heiðar Þorvaldsson, in a 1–0 win over Helsingborgs.[36] Ajdarević continued to be in the first team, having played in central midfield and in the last two games of his career, he scored two goals against AIK[37] and Åtvidabergs.[38] By the end of May, Ajdarević made twelve appearances and scoring two times.

In the opening game of the season, Ajdarević made his debut, coming on as a substitute for Yoni Buyens, in a 1–0 loss against Zulte Waregem.[42] Several weeks later, on 19 August 2012, Ajdarević scored his first goal in a 6–2 win over Charleroi.[43] In the round of 32 of Belgian Cup, Ajdarević scored and set up a goal for Jelle Van Damme, who scored a winning goal, as Liège beat KV Kortrijk 3–2.[44] Despite becoming a regular in the first team under new manager Ron Jans until his sacking on 22 October 2012,[45] Ajdarević soon lost his first team place later in the season and made 21 appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

During his time there, Ajdarević was the club's fan favorite.[53]

2014–15 season

Like the previous season, Ajdarević continued to play as a centre-forward for the side in the 2016 season and then scored his first goal of the season on 11 April 2016, in a 2–1 win over Jönköpings Södra.[73] Ajdarević then scored two more goals against Hammarby IF[74] and Gelfe IF.[75] After playing in the Summer Olympics, Ajdarević returned to the first team, but soon suffered a thigh injury that kept him out for weeks.[76] After returning to the first team, Ajdarević scored on his return on 22 September 2016, in a 3–2 loss against Göteborg.[77] Following a 5–1 defeat to Östersund on 31 October 2016, Ajdarević was verbally abused by a supporter of the club, who told him to leave the club.[78] Ajdarević went on to finish the 2016 season, making 26 appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.
