Marian Huja left Oil and signed with Pogon Szczecin
Marian Huja, a central defender legitimized in Ploiești from September 2020, ran to the proposal from Pogon Szczecin, the 4th place in the last season of the Poland Championship. He signed a contract valid for 2 years, with an extension option on another one.
Oil thus checked another sale this summer, after sending Mihnea Rădulescu to Craiova in exchange for 400,000 euros.
Huja dressed the oil shirt 127 times, for which he scored 8 goals. He promoted in superlig with “wolves” and had generally appreciated developments, which propelled Mircea Lucescu's radar.
