Petr Cech: goalkeeping legend signs for Belfast Giants
Former Chelsea and Arsenal star joins on loan
Legendary Premier League football star Petr Cech has signed for the Belfast Giants.
Cech who had an illustrious career playing in goals for both Chelsea and Arsenal, will provide temporary net-minding cover for Adam Keefe's Elite League side.
It will be a loan move for the 41-year-old who plays with Oxford City Stars in the National ice-Hockey League.
Earlier this year, Cech played in a charity match for the Giants in Belfast.
Keefe, said: “We’re very appreciative of the support of both the Oxford City Stars and Petr himself. Petr is a highly decorated athlete, who knows what it takes to perform at the highest level, so his support during this loan period will be invaluable.”
Cech played more than 440 Premier League games during a decorated 15-year career – winning four Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, the Champions League, and Europa League – before retiring from professional football in 2019.
