THE OVERHAUL OF Dundalk’s squad continues apace with the club today confirming the signing of Latvian international defender Raivis Andris Jurkovskis.
Jurkovskis is 24, and has made 13 senior international appearances. He is a full-back, and is added to the squad following the departures of long-serving duo Sean Gannon and Dane Massey. Gannon has joined Shamrock Rovers, while Massey announced his departure from the club yesterday.
Jurkovskis moves to Oriel Park on a free transfer, as his contract with Latvian side FK Liepaja had expired. Liepaja finished fifth in the Latvian top flight last season, qualifying for the new Uefa Conference League.
“Raivis can play at full-back, on either side,” said Dundalk head coach Filippo Giovagnoli. “He is a really good player, strong, fast and physical. He is considered as one of the best players in Latvia and when we started to watch him, we had no doubt he was the player for us.”
