Maxim Grechkin extended his contract at Maccabi Tel Aviv as the 22-year-old left-back signed a new one-year-deal with an option for another season and joined newly promoted side Hapoel Hadera on a season long loan deal.
Maccabi’s CEO Ben Mansford told the club’s official website: “Max was one of the first development professionals that I saw play on loan last season. I’ve continued to monitor his progress along with Patrick van Leeuwen who is leading the process of delivering the next generation. As well continuing to progress with his career, I’ve been impressed with Max’s personality and desire to realize his ultimate ambition of playing for Maccabi. I am delighted he has signed a new contract. I look forward to seeing Max play in the IPFL.”.
Grechkin, a product of Maccabi’s youth department who spent last season on loan at Hapoel Ramat Hasharon where he made 31 appearances in all competitions, and previously at Beitar Tel Aviv Ramle, is set to make his debut season in the top flight.
