České Budějovice has secured its second winter signing with the arrival of creative midfielder Filip Havelka (27). The North Bohemian club,Teplice,had previously lost interest in the player,but Havelka has now committed to Dynamo with a contract extending until the summer of 2026.
“While the team’s current position in the league table isn’t ideal, I see this as an exciting challenge. My goal is to contribute to Dynamo’s resurgence and help the team regain its competitive edge,” Havelka stated on the club’s official website.
Havelka is no stranger to the Bohemian football scene. Having spent three years on loan from Sparta Prague between 2018 and 2021, he made 71 appearances for the club. “Returning to a familiar and welcoming environment feels great. I’m excited to be back,” he remarked.
“I’ve worked with Filip during his previous stint at Dynamo.He was a consistent presence in the lineup, brings extensive league experience, and is a product of Sparta’s renowned academy. His quality has been proven in the league, and he fits the profile we were seeking to replace Marcel Čermák (26),” explained Dynamo’s head coach, Jiří Lerch.
This signing marks Dynamo’s second winter acquisition, following the addition of Malian defender Mamadou Koné (27) from Táborsko.
