İstanbul GSK has taken a step toward preserving stability in its attacking line. The club has extended its contract with Belarusian right back Mikita Chyzhyk, who joined the squad last season, through the end of the 2026/2027 season.
Playing in the right back position, Chyzhyk fills a key role in the playmaking line, where the club values organization and experience. İstanbul GSK announced the decision to continue with the player through its official channels.
The decision carries added significance given that İstanbul GSK will also compete on the European stage next season. Drawn against Lithuania's Vilnius VHC Sviesa in the first round of the EHF European Cup, the team is aiming to enter the international campaign with a settled squad.
İstanbul GSK Renews Contract with Mikita Chyzhyk: Belarusian Playmaker Stays in the Squad
İstanbul GSK has extended its partnership with Belarusian right back Mikita Chyzhyk, who joined the club last season. His new deal runs through the end of the 2026/2027 season.
In This Story
- İstanbul GSK has renewed its contract with Belarusian right back Mikita Chyzhyk.
- The player's new deal is valid through the end of the 2026/2027 season.
- Chyzhyk joined İstanbul GSK's squad last season.
A contract renewal often gets lost in the noise of transfer season, yet continuity in positions that dictate a team's rhythm — like playmaker — can matter more than signing a new star. İstanbul GSK's decision to keep its core intact ahead of a European campaign signals a preference for an established system over short-term flash. The real question is how well that stability translates to international tempo, since an organization that functions domestically can only withstand Europe's physical intensity once its players have accumulated enough time on the court together.
