Litvínov acquired the Latvian defender Freibergs for the new season

“We have had Ralfs in our sights for a long time. He is a quality full-back who has spent four years in the extra league and knows the Czech environment. I believe that he will help us raise the quality of the defensive ranks,” said club CEO Pavel Hynek. “In addition to defensive tasks, we count on him going forward as well. I believe that he will confirm his performances and be an asset to our team,” added coach Vladimír Růžička.

Freibergs worked in the Extraliga in 2017-2021. First in Zlín, then in Brno and after last year’s exchange in the middle of the season in Třinec, with whom he won the title. He played a total of 227 matches in the Czech top flight and collected 101 points (17+84). Last season he played in the KHL for Dinamo Riga and then in Iserlohn, Germany.

In the jersey of the Latvian national team, Freibergs appeared at six world championships and two Olympic Games, including this year’s in Beijing.
