The former member of the Slovenian national soccer team had made a mark playing for Groningen and PSV, but after he left the Netherlands, his career suffered a setback. Playing for Augsburg, Genoa, and Nuremberg, he managed to score just 11 goals.
He will play in the Europa League
“I had my greatest successes when I lived in the Netherlands. That’s why I now once again have the opportunity to show what I’m capable of,” the 28-year-old told the club’s official website. Vitesse is a cup champion, which means that Matavž will play in the Europa League.
Last year, Ricky van Wolfswinkel was in charge of scoring for Vitesse. He scored 20 goals in the league but is joining Basle for the upcoming season.
Volaš signs a one-plus-one contract
Dalibor Volaš is also moving to the land of tulips. The 30-year-old has signed a one-year contract with Sparta from Rotterdam with an option of extending the contract for another year.
