Whitley Warriors are delighted to confirm the signing of Czech forward Matěj Valíček from HC Banik Sokolov.
23-year-old Valíček has experience in the Czech Republic and also spent four years playing with Southern Oregon Spartans in the WSHL.
Warriors General Manager Paul Matthews said today, “We are delighted to announce the signing of Matěj Valíček for the Whitley Warriors.”
“Matěj has been training with us over the last 2 weeks and has integrated exceptionally well with the group,” he added. “We feel he is an excellent signing and at 23 years old will bring enthusiasm, hunger and desire to our roster. The signing increases competition for places and strengthens our forward options. We welcome Matěj and I’m sure the fans will be excited to see him in a Warriors shirt.”
Matěj is available to play this weekend and will feature in Sunday’s top-of-the-table home clash with Solway Sharks. He will wear the number 18 shirt and is available for player sponsorship and shirt sponsorship immediately.
Welcome to Whitley Warriors, Matěj!
