Korona Kielce has made a significant transfer by signing Patrik Hellebrand, a Czech midfielder who played for Górnik Zabrze for the last two seasons. The club activated the release clause of €1.7 million, making this transfer the highest in Korona's history. Hellebrand expressed his satisfaction with the decision to join the Kielce team, emphasizing the club's determination to acquire him. "Korona was very determined to sign me, and that convinced me to take this step," the player stated. Born in Opava, Patrik Hellebrand has one appearance for the Czech national team and won the national championship with Slavia Prague. Last season, he helped Górnik Zabrze secure the runner-up position and the Polish Cup. Hellebrand is the first summer signing for Korona Kielce and will be the highest-paid player in the team led by Jacek Zieliński. Korona fans can look forward to his debut at the Exbud Arena, where Hellebrand eagerly awaits to meet the supporters. Previously, the most expensive transfer in the club's history was Tamar Svetlin, for whom around €1 million was paid. Patrik Hellebrand is sure to bring new hopes and ambitions to a team that dreams of winning its first trophy.
