Veteran Goalkeeper Arik Yanko Joins Hapoel Ramat Gan
Hapoel Ramat Gan announced Friday the signing of veteran goalkeeper Arik Yanko, 34, for one season with an option for a second. Yanko, who previously played for numerous Israeli clubs including Hapoel Tel Aviv, Hapoel Ra'anana, and Maccabi Petah Tikva, expressed his excitement about joining the team. "I am very happy to join the club. I come with a lot of energy and experience to help the team succeed this season. I am already looking forward to starting to work hard, meeting the fans, and getting started," Yanko stated.
Yanko joins Hapoel Ramat Gan as the second-choice goalkeeper behind Amit Reif, having been released from his previous club, Maccabi Jaffa. Tomer Haran will serve as the third-choice goalkeeper. Additionally, the club is reportedly close to signing Goni Naor.
Hapoel Ramat Gan, a newly promoted team, has had a challenging start to the season, suffering three consecutive losses. They lost 2-1 to Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and were defeated 4-0 by Hapoel Tel Aviv. The team has been handed a particularly difficult schedule for the upcoming league matches.
