Radivojevic signs for Slovan!

32-year old forward agreed to the terms of the contract until 30 April 2014. This agreement has yet to be registered in the CIB - KHL hockey players central registry in Moscow.

One of the most experienced Slovaks ever played in KHL ended the cooperation with Russian team of Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk earlier this week. Since then, his agent has been in talks with HC SLOVAN's sports director Oldrich Stefl and executive director Alex Yashkin for several days .

" I am very happy that I will be playing in my native country. I was impressed when this option occurred and told my agent that this would be my priority. Slovan has a good team that didn't radically changed, compared to the previous season. Hopefully, I will be able to help the team accomplish their basic goal for this season - advance in the play-offs. In Bratislava, every game is a sell-out and to play in such an atmosphere is just amazing," said Branko Radivojevic shortly after signing the contract. 

If everything goes well, Radivojevic might be ready to play for Slovan on Saturday against Cherepovets. He will wear the jersey with his favourite number 92.

"Branko is the type of a player we've needed very much. He's a great fighter, a natural leader on and off the ice. He has extensive experience not only from the KHL, but the NHL. He will for sure be a key help to our team in difficult matches that we will face until the end of regulation," said shortly after signing the contract Maros Krajci, HC SLOVAN's general manager.
