Hapoel Tel Aviv announced on Monday a settlement with the Ukrainian goalkeeper Bogdan Sarnavsky and after 72 hours the goalkeeper arrived in Israel, signed and was introduced to the team.
Ernst Stakus was injured against Maccabi Netanya and although the club breathed a sigh of relief when the tests showed that the Lithuanian does not suffer from a joint crisis and can return to play within a few weeks, but the club chose not to wait for his return and landed Saranwski to compete with Yigal Becker for at least the first goalkeeper’s jersey. Moreover, Shtakos is not expected to continue at Hapoel Tel Aviv next season and for Serenevsky this will also be an opportunity to prove his abilities and perhaps earn a contract for next season as well.
The 27-year-old Srenovsky comes from the Ukrainian Dnipro, where this season he has played on loan at Caribou Rog in the second division of his country. In addition, he passed in all of Ukraine’s youth teams until 2015, but did not get to stand at the gate of the senior team. This season he kept a clean sheet in nine games in 19 rounds in which he was a partner, but left Ukraine at least until the end of the season following the Russian invasion of the country and under the auspices of the special transfer window opened for those players.
Meanwhile, the team’s players will have a rest for the next two days and at the beginning of the week preparations will begin for the next playoff game, next Saturday in Bloomfield against Bnei Sakhnin. Hapoel Tel Aviv has not been able to beat any of the top playoff teams in 11 games against them and the club is aware that failure in the top playoff will hurt the club next season as well, assuming fewer subscribers are sold: “There are players at the club Senior at the club.
