AC MILAN star Ante Rebic showed he has not forgotten his roots with his latest act of generosity towards his local area.
The Croatia striker has donated £8,000 to help autistic children in Slavonski Brod.

And he is no stranger to making generous offers after previously helping out back home.
Rebic, 27, is from Donji Vinjani and in 2018 paid off the debts of 500 villagers.
The former Frankfurt star’s latest charitable act will hel fund a new facility for the rehabilitation and upbringing of children.
The Golden Sequin Centre works with around 220 children with disabilities and autism.
Іlіја Јеrkоvіс, director of the Golden Sequin, told Novisivot.net: “Wе trulу thаnk Аntе Rеbіc fоr thіѕ wоndеrful gеѕturе аnd thе grеаt fіnаnсіаl ѕuрроrt hе gаvе uѕ.

“I would like to meet Mr. Rebic if I get the chance. He is a great footballer, I remember his good games at the World Cup in Russia, and now he has also shown that he is a great and noble man. He did a lot for our institution.”
Rebic, who was linked with Manchester United a few years ago, has scored four goals and provided six assists in 14 matches this season in Serie A.
But it it his generous contributions off the pitch in Croatia which will have won him plenty of new fans.
