Filip Twardzik signs with MFK Skalica until end of autumn season

Czech defender Filip Twardzik has signed a contract with MFK Skalica that runs until the end of the autumn season. The agreement brings an end to a period during which the player was without a club following the conclusion of the previous campaign.

Stanislav Macek initiated contact with Twardzik regarding a role as a central defender. This outreach occurred while Twardzik was available as a free agent. The defender subsequently completed a three-day trial with Skalica two weeks before the end of October 2026. The successful trial led directly to negotiations and the finalization of the contract.

Twardzik stated that he had been monitoring Skalica’s recent performances before committing to the move. He specifically watched the team’s matches against Trnava and Slovan to assess the squad and its style of play.

The move reunites Twardzik with former teammates. He and Erik Daniel previously played together at Ružomberok and later at Spartak Trnava. Skalica marks the third club where the two have been squad mates. Twardzik also shares a history with Patrick Karhan from their time at Trnava.

Twardzik expressed a desire to demonstrate that he still belongs in the league. His professional career includes spells at several clubs across different countries. His previous teams include Celtic Glasgow, Bolton Wanderers, Vítkovice, Karviná, LASK Linz, Ružomberok, and Spartak Trnava.
