Great news for the “White and Green”! Our vice-captain and one of the heroes of the promotion, Ivan Zhelizko showed his love for our club by extending his contract, which is now valid for four more seasons, until June 2028.

Last season, Ivan was a key player for the team. He appeared in 28 games and scored 3 goals. His goal from the match against GKS Tychy was voted by fans as the prettiest goal of the competition, and Ivan himself was voted Fortuna 1. Liga best defensive midfielder .

Our President Paolo Urfer was delighted at the moment of this announcement:
Ivan is not only a great player, but also and most importantly am amazing person. His calm leadership and charisma will be key for our successes to come. He represents the future of Lechia and we have agreed to sign this extension with a buy out clause that will protect both sides from third club’s interests.

– This club has become the club of my life. I love this city, the people here, our stadium and, of course, the passion shown by our fans. Let’s continue to win and make the people proud of our team! – commented Ivan Zhelizko immediately after signing the new contract.
