One of the best right backs in Europe in the last decade, Renato Vugrinec (37) left Slovenian Maribor and joined Macedonian champion, RK Metalurg Skoplje in the last moment before the start of the VELUX EHF Champions League. Vugrinec has played for Celje PL, SC Magdeburg, Portland San Antonio, HSV Handball and some other teams, before he went back to his country last summer and signed contract with RK Maribor Branik, the fifth team of domestic championship.
After only six matches in the new team, Vugrinec has decided to accept very good offer from Lino Cervar’s team. Metalurg has stayed without left-handed player on right back position after contract termination with Milan Vucicevic.
