# Mitrovic’s career so far in pictures

Following confirmation of Newcastle’s second signing of the summer, Serbian international Aleksandar Mitrovic from RSC Anderlecht, we take a pictorial look back over his career so far.

**September 2012.** First up, two snaps of Aleksandar in action against FC Neftci in the 2012 Europa League group stage.

**October 2012.** In the next round, Partizan drew Italian giants Inter Milan. Here’s a very young Mitrovic in action.

**June 2013.** Serbia take on Belgium in World Cup 2014 qualifiers. Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany was handed the responsibility of marking Mitrovic.

**August 2013.** After a fine season with Partizan, Mitrovic signed for RSC Anderlecht – with one of the most ridiculous haircuts we have ever seen. During his time with Partizan, he scored 13 league goals in 28 appearances.

**September 2013.** Mitrovic made his Champions League debut against Portuguese outfit Benfica – ironically, the last team Newcastle played in a competitive European match.

In his debut season with Anderlecht, Mitrovic netted 16 times in 32 games and instantly became a fan favourite.
