There is a new journey waiting in SHL for Jakub Vrana who has signed a two-year contract with Linköping. A return he has longed for.

I have personally felt that this day would come sometime. For me, it was just a matter of time. I am very happy to get to represent Linköping again and now I just long to get up to the city, the organization and start working together with the team, says Vrana.

Sports manager Peter Jakobsson describes the recruitment as something of a jackpot.

We have been very clear in recent years that he has been a dream recruitment for us and that we now have managed to land him feels, of course, fantastically good.

The Czech forward played in LHC between 2011 and 2015 before the NHL career took off.

After being drafted by Washington in 2014, he was involved and lifted the Stanley Cup trophy in the 2017/18 season. In total, it became over 400 matches in the world's best league during nine seasons.
