"I want to bring leadership, professionalism and quality, everything that is needed. I will do everything for the group and the club.
Everywhere I have played I have given everything," said Tadic.
When questioned about his physical condition at age 37, the veteran attacker responded lightly about his fitness levels.
"You will see," said Tadic.
He acknowledged the need to regain match sharpness following a hiatus from competitive play prior to joining his new teammates.
"I do need to get into the rhythm, because I haven't played for two and a half months and I will have to get used to the way of playing.
But every training session it will get better," said Tadic.

Head coach Dick Schreuder revealed that the open training session attracted heavy media interest due to the high profile of the 111-time Serbian international.
"We did expect this. Everyone wants to be there for the first time," said Schreuder.
Schreuder explained that the transfer developed naturally over time due to his existing relationship with the forward.
"This was going on for a while, because of the relationship I have with Dusan. He worked with Alfred.
I stayed in contact with him," said Schreuder.
The coach emphasized that Tadic provides crucial European experience ahead of NEC's upcoming third qualifying round matches in the Champions League against Olympiacos on August 4 and 11.
"It is going to be a difficult year," said Schreuder.
