Solvenian international Koren carved a good reputation in the West Bromwich Albion midfield, so it was with pleasant surprise that the free agent joined City after his Hawthorns contract expired that summer.  His career began with Solvenian lower league side Dravograd and first division stalwarts Publikum Celje.  In 2004 he switched to Norwegian side Lillestrom, a move that saw his reputation build rapidly as a skilled playmaker. Three years later in January 2007 he joined West Bromwich Albion after refusing the advances of Leeds United, assisting the Baggies to a Championship play-off final and a promotion, then turning out regularly in their Premier League side.
He came to the Tigers fresh from World Cup Finals exploits and his early appearances smacked of a missed pre-season.  But he soon started to contribute guile and goals to the City cause as they ascended the Championship table.  Koren faded badly that Spring and started 2011-12 with plenty of competition for his midfield place, but he soon found his form once more and re-established his role as the finest goalscoring midfielder outside the Premier League.
