Lithuanian champions Gintra have extended the contract of Agnieška Kazarina, one of the country's most talented players, who will continue wearing yellow and black.
Kazarina contributed to Gintra's victories and national title last year, but suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury near the season's end, temporarily halting her career. The club have shown firm confidence in the motivated, promising player and are pleased she has committed her future to the team.
The 18-year-old arrived in Šiauliai in 2023, when she was named Lithuania's best young female footballer. She is nominated again this year. Before her injury last season, she performed strongly and was an established first-team player.
"Agnieška is both talented and a wonderful person. We believe this challenge will be an important part of her development and that she will return stronger. We will support her throughout recovery and trust her strong character to help her return quickly," said director Mantas Radavičius.
Although not yet able to play, Agnieška remains actively involved in team life, stays in touch with her teammates and prepares for her return.
"The injury is a difficult test, but I feel the club's support and belief. I believe I'll return stronger and contribute to victories. I'm grateful to the management and team for their trust and help," Kazarina said.
Agnieška's determination and the club's support show that Gintra remain a place where talent flourishes and develops, even through adversity. We await her return and believe her contribution will become even greater.
