Pavel Kaderabek has returned to his Czech homeland after leaving TSG Hoffenheim, with Sparta Prague officially announcing the signing of the right-back. The capital club did not have to pay a transfer fee as the 33-year-old's contract in Sinsheim had expired. Kaderabek had spent the past ten years playing for Hoffenheim, having previously been exclusively active for Sparta. Sparta Prague's Sportdirektor, Tomas Sivok, mentioned that Pavel is, at heart, a Spartan who returns to his homeland after many years. Sivok noted that Kaderabek brings a wealth of experience from the Bundesliga and has a clear understanding of what it means to play for Sparta. He expressed belief that Kaderabek will enhance the quality and integrity of their game, both defensively and offensively, and will be a strong presence in the locker room, contributing both on and off the field.
