Wolves’ Matija Sarkic: A Talented Goalkeeper and Beloved Personality Leaves the World at 26

Last summer, Matija Sarkic made the move from Wolves to Millwall. During his time at Molineux, the goalkeeper played for both the under-21s and the first-team, appearing in three senior matches during the 2022-23 season. He also made multiple appearances in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.

Sporting director Matt Hobbs expressed his shock and devastation upon hearing the news of Sarkic’s passing at the age of 26. He described him as not only a talented player but also a beloved individual who was well-liked by all. Sarkic was known for his hard work, friendly demeanor, and positive attitude, always greeting staff members with a smile.

The loss of someone so kind and talented has had a profound impact on those who knew him well, making it difficult to come to terms with his passing. Sarkic had signed with Wolves in July 2020 after joining from Aston Villa. His sudden passing has left many in mourning, including those at Wolves who are deeply saddened by his loss.
