A1 M – Lukas Durik is a new player for Pro Recco

Slovak center-forward, 31 years old, comes from the French team Tourcouing, where he scored 51 goals in the last season between the league and the Euro Cup.

A powerful player with excellent swimming skills, before his experience in Lille, which began in 2022, he played for three years in Barcelona; during his career, he has also played for Nice and Debrecen.

The financial problems of the French team, not registered in the top league, allowed the white and blue club to sign the center-forward by exploiting the opening of the European Aquatics: Durik will be immediately available for league matches, while for the Euro Cup, he will have to wait until January in case of qualification for the round of 16.

“I am arriving in the best club in the world, and I am really happy to be able to play with such strong players – the words of the new center-forward, born in December 1992 -. I had several offers, but when Felugo and Sukno contacted me, I didn't think twice. I was surprised because receiving a call from Pro Recco doesn't happen every day. They told me about the great project also for the future, and today, finally, I joined my teammates. They all welcomed me very well right away; I knew them from being opponents, especially "Chalo" Echenique whom I faced in Spain. I come with huge motivation, wanting to win as much as possible at the team level, and personally, I will do everything to play the best water polo of my career. Here I find what is probably the best center-forward in the world, Ben Hallock, and it will be a privilege to learn from him. As a boy, I always looked with admiration at Boris Zlokovic, Ivan Perez, and Dusko Pijetlovic”.

Welcome to Lukas from the entire white and blue Club.
