Welling United are delighted to confirm the arrival of goalkeeper Slavomir Huk.
The Slovakian stopper made his name with Dorking Wanderers where he spent nine years, playing a key part in their remarkable rise through the non-League pyramid.
Considered a legend by the Dorking faithful, Huk was named Player of the Year in 2017 and 2018 and is fondly remembered for his penalty-saving heroics in their Isthmian League Division One play-off success.
Originally joining Wanderers from VSS Kosice in 2015, he has also represented Leatherhead, Bath City, Chatham Town and Raynes Park during loan spells before joining Burgess Hill last season, making another crucial penalty save in the play-off final against Sittingbourne to secure their promotion.
The 32-year old now joins Lee Martin’s squad providing vital competition between the sticks following the signing of fellow stopper Jack West-Astuti earlier in the summer.
Speaking after signing for the Wings, Huk said: “I’m very excited for what the season will bring and can’t wait to start.
“The last 10 years has been a crazy ride and a great experience. The way the manager plays really suits me and it’s great to have healthy competition here – if you want to push yourself, you need to have someone behind you pushing you, so I hope me and Jack can push ourselves to be the best and cheer for each other.
“I’m here to bring some experience. I’ve been in some great teams over the years and hopefully I can use that to help this team as much as I can.”
Meanwhile, speaking of his new recruit, Martin added: “I’m thrilled to have Slav on board. He is a perfect match for our playing style and aligns well with the vision we’re working to establish here.
“I was eager to bring him in to work alongside Westy [Jack West-Astuti], as I believe it’s crucial for us to have both strength and depth throughout the entire team.
“He arrives with a vast amount of experience and a mindset that I think will greatly benefit our younger players.”
