A WEEK SINCE he helped the club win its first major trophy in five years, Graham Carey has extended his contract with CSKA Sofia.
Carey was a member of the side who recorded a 1-0 win over Arda in the 2021 Bulgarian Cup final, as they made amends for a penalty-shootout defeat to Lokomotiv Plovdiv in last yearโs decider.
A creative, left-footed midfielder, the 32-year-old joined CSKA Sofia from Plymouth Argyle on a two-year deal in June 2019.
Despite being linked with several clubs back in the UK, including Bolton Wanderers and Dundee United, Carey has extended his stay in the Bulgarian capital.
The Dubliner began his professional career at Celtic. He went on to play for Bohemians, Huddersfield Town, St Mirren and Ross County before embarking on a four-year spell at Plymouth, where he experienced promotion from League Two.
In 66 appearances in all competitions for CSKA Sofia, Carey has scored six goals and chipped in with 18 assists.
After the Bulgarian outfit caused an upset by beating Swiss giants Basel in the qualifying round, the former Republic of Ireland U21 international played three times in the group stages of the Europa League last year.
All the best to the Cox family I hope ye have all the help ye deserve. Best wishes :)
@David O Brien: He wonโt. Nobody with a brain injury in this country gets anywhere near the level of care that they should do. Itโs a disgrace what they had to go through, but at least their profile helped get him some decent rehab. Others arenโt so lucky and just get banished to a nursing home & left to rot. Hopefully his case will help change that
@David O Brien: I second that.
Good luck Sean..
Best wishes to Sean and his family. It will certainly be an inspirational read. Well done Martina
