Last season’s bottom Premium Liiga team Nõmme United have announced the signing of all-time record holder for most appearances in the top-flight, Andre Frolov.
Overtaking the previous record holder Andrei Kalimullin on the 21st of September this year, Frolov was the long time captain of Paide Linnameeskond, spending eight seasons in the heart of Estonia. The 36-year old midfielder has played in 521 league matches, but the number will not be increasing next year, due to signing for Esiliiga team Nõmme United.
Frolov stated in the Nõmme United press release:
“It feels very good and very homely to be here. I will give my best, to help the club reach their targets.”
Nõmme United’s sporting director Martin Klasen added:
“It’s a very good feeling to make this small gift to our fans for the end of the year and to have some positive anticipation for next season! Andre is a leader and a true sportsman, whose experience will help our young squad. He brings extra qualities to the team and will help our young players to grow into professional sportsmen.”
In addition to Frolov, United has bolstered their squad with another Premium Liiga legend inbetween the two seasons – at the start of December, the club announced the signing of Zakaria Beglarishvili from JK Narva Trans.
