made my time at the club memorable! You have helped me grow as a footballer and
I will always be grateful for that 🙏🏾!

begin to thank you for your tremendous support! From the time I arrived in
Plovdiv you have made me feel more than welcome, cheered for me, encouraged me,
stood by me in my good days and even on the not-so-good one’s, and always given
me the strength and encouragement to do my best on the pitch!
“You are the best fans in
the world, and I will never forget your kindness and will be forever grateful
for your love and support! It’s Adios for now, but Plovdiv will always stay in
my heart ⚽️❤️!
