“I would like to share some good news, much to the delight of many of our fans: we have reached an agreement with Roland Mikler on a contract extension, and his deal has been prolonged until June 30, 2027. Roli is an iconic figure in Szeged handball, and with his performances this season he has once again proven that he is a key member of the team, one of its greatest strengths, and an essential link,” said club president Edward Papp.
“Everyone knows what the club in Szeged means to me, and what it means for me to play for OTP Bank-PICK Szeged. It is a great joy for me and my family that I can continue my career here, stay on, and keep contributing to the team’s success. We love living here, and the twins will start school in the autumn, so I was very happy to sign my contract,” said Roland Mikler.
