Gutkovskis Signs Two-Year Contract with Polish Club Arka Gdynia
Latvian international striker Vladislavs Gutkovskis has signed a two-year deal with Arka Gdynia, which was recently relegated to the Polish second division.
The 31-year-old Vladislavs Gutkovskis is staying in Poland. After his contract with Arka Gdynia automatically expired in early June, the footballer has now agreed to a new two-season collaboration, aiming to help the team return to the Polish Ekstraklasa.
Gutkovskis joined Arka during the winter transfer window following his stint with South Korean club Citizen. In the second half of the season, the Latvian striker scored four goals and provided one assist in 16 Ekstraklasa matches, but it was not enough to save the team from relegation – Arka finished second-to-last and will play in the second division next season.
Gutkovskis had previously indicated the possibility of returning to Arka on new terms, and now that has materialized. The Latvian enjoyed his most successful years with Rakow Czestochowa, where he scored between seven and nine goals in three consecutive Ekstraklasa campaigns.
