After two years in China, where he played for Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Mile Škorić has become a free agent.

Mile Škorić is a free agent after spending two years in China, playing for Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. He has several concrete offers from China, where he played around fifty league matches and often captained his teams. Despite this, he prefers destinations closer to home, acknowledging that financially, it won't be as rewarding as staying in Asia.

Mile Škorić's contract with Tianjin Jinmen Tiger is set to expire this winter. Speculation is mounting about a potential return to the Croatian league, where he is a revered figure for his contributions to NK Osijek. A comeback could bolster the defense of any domestic side seeking a seasoned leader.
