In a great move, ahead of the new season, Apollon Smyrnis made a move. The management of the polo team, which wrote its name in golden letters in the history books by conquering the Challenger Cupannounced the extension of its collaboration with Nikola Bogdanovicthe team’s Serbian bomber.
The announcement in detail:
The “bobber” of the “light brigade” and first scorer of A1 Men’s Water Polo with 92 goals, Nikola Bogdanovic, will continue to… shake the opponent’s nets with the blue and white “cap”!
GS Apollon Smyrnis announces the extension of its cooperation for the next two years, until June 2025, with the 27-year-old Serbian regional player, who had a magical season this year, contributing the most to winning the Challenger Cup and 3rd place in the Championship.
Nikola Bogdanovic scored 92 goals in 29 appearances in A1, finishing first in the scorers table, six ahead of Giannis Fundoulis and 9 ahead of his teammate Manolis Solanakis (83), with Apollon being the top scorer for the 6th year in a row of the championship!
At the same time, in the team’s frantic and magical European run, he scored 42 goals in 14 matches, while he also had five in one cup match with Vouliagmeni. In other words, in a total of 44 games, he scored 139 times!
The charismatic Serbian scorer, who turns 28 on December 21, 2023, didn’t just help with his goals. He was, without exaggeration, excellent in his defensive duties, very team-oriented in the offensive part and an ideal teammate for his teammates.
Indicative of how well he is having a good time at Apollo and how much he believes in the project that has been created is that he himself wanted – despite the other proposals he had – a two-year contract.
In the “light brigade” they didn’t think about it for a moment, offering him a two-year extension of the partnership, as in addition to his great competitive value, he is also a truly exceptional character.
Speaking on the department’s official website, www.apollonwaterpolo,gr, he said:
“I’m really excited for the next few seasons at Apollo and I’m honored to continue to be a part of this amazing family for another two years. The team did a lot this year and proved that with hard work anything is possible. Of course, for the next season our goals are higher both in Greece and in Europe, where we will play in the Champions League qualifiers”.
After captain Manolis Solanakis in Apollon Smyrnis, Nikola Bogdanovich continues and the continuation is expected to be just as dynamic!
