Stojsavljevic looks to break into the Football League

By Aidan Jones
Former Woking defender Lazar Stojsavljevic is hoping to become the latest youth product to progress into the EFL via Non-League.
The 20-year-old saw his season put on hold in January when he suffered a fractured skull, just moments after scoring a dramatic winner for the Cards against AFC Fylde.
Although Stojsavljevic was offered an extended deal by the National League South club, he  opted to train with Millwall over the pre-season and impressed for the Lions in a 5-0 friendly win over Dartford.
The young defender said, “ I was there (at Millwall) for one week when the season ended and now I have come back for pre-season as well so it is a good time for me to try and show what I am capable of.”
“I came in to trial for the Under 23’s but I managed to play a part in the friendly against Dartford and I felt that I had given the manager enough to show what I could do.
Stojsavljevic has relished the opportunity of training with the Championship side and believes that the experience his improved him as a player.
The former Woking youth product said, “It was great playing alongside Championship level players and it was a big step from playing in the National League.
“It would be ideal if my trial at Millwall was successful and I did sign for the youth team”
Despite leaving Woking, the defender admits that he would be more than happy to drop back into Non-League if it meant he was playing regular football.
“I am just trying to settle down at a club at the moment, I would not turn down a move to a lower football league side or even National League.
It is very competitive and it would be good to just play my football, even if I do need to move locations” said Stojsavljevic.
