“The club is very ambitious and wants to reach a higher level. I thought, ‘Why not?’ That’s why I’m here today,” Leon said in an interview with Polsat Sport.
The 31-year-old player was officially introduced as a new member of Bogdanka LUK Lublin in a ceremony attended by city and regional officials, as well as sponsors who helped secure the transfer.
