“The forward position was one of those where we wanted to improve the quality of the staff. Václav Sejk fits our ideas perfectly. He is a winning type, we need a player with that mentality. There was interest in him in Sigma earlier. I am very happy that this time we managed to get him, even though the negotiations were not entirely easy. I believe that he will do well in Olomouc,” said the club’s general sports manager Pavel Hapal.
Sejk is looking forward to the new engagement. “The vision and ambitions of the club are different than, for example, a year ago, when Sigma was also interested in me. Now I feel the strength of the team, which can fulfill the ambitions. I am convinced that I can be part of something interesting that started to develop here in the summer. I want to play cups, as high as possible in the league, and we will see if we succeed. I hope that we will build on what was achieved last year and get to Europe again,” Sejk said.
