It’s understandable if not many Liverpool fans are aware of Armin Hodzic, a player the club signed from Željezničar in May 2011.

Hodzic stayed on Liverpool’s books until his contract ended in 2014, including taking a loan spell back at his previous club Željezničar.

Unable to breakthrough at Liverpool, the striker was forced to look for a new club and was snapped up by Dinamo Zagreb. Now 22 years of age, Hodzic is a full international for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Progressing well at Dinamo, Hodzic has been speaking to Croatian newspaper Vecernji List, and was asked what advice advice he’d give to a 17 year old with an offer from Liverpool, so basically what advice would he give his former self.

“And it is above all always an honour to receive an invitation from a great club. It was one of the happier times in my life when I was in Liverpool, surely that situation helps to you develop as a person and as a player.”

The young footballer certainly sounds like he doesn’t regret his time at Liverpool, even if he wasn’t able to make the breakthrough.
