After the game on Saturday, Town boss Kieran McKenna said of Muric: “I think he showed exactly why we wanted to bring him to the football club.
"With where we are as a team coming into this division, finding a goalkeeper who can win you points on certain days is absolutely massive because every point is massive in the league.
“Aro has shown across his career that he can be a match-winning goalkeeper and he can earn points for the team. He’s a fantastic shot-stopper and he commands his box like not many goalkeepers in the division.
“It’s a great day for him and his integration into the team. He’s still very young for a goalkeeper, he’s still learning and adapting to what we want from him, but I think today is a great step forward.
"He showed everyone why we brought him to the football club and what he can bring for us.”
