Slavy fortifies the forward line of Hércules CF.
Hércules CF has officially announced the signing of Slavy (Huesca, 2002) as the new blanquiazul player for the 2025/26 season. The striker joins on a permanent deal after a loan spell at Villarreal B from SD Eibar.
Slavy is a young forward with talent and experience in professional football. Of Bulgarian nationality, he came up through the ranks at Real Valladolid, making his LaLiga debut with the first team in the 2021/22 season. Since then, he has been on an upward trajectory, establishing himself as one of the most promising strikers in Spanish football.
In the 2023/24 season, he had a remarkable campaign with Unionistas CF in the Primera Federación, scoring 13 goals in 37 matches. His performance earned him a move to SD Eibar, where he started the 2024/25 season in LaLiga Hypermotion. In the winter transfer window, he joined Villarreal B and impressed with 7 goals in 18 games.
Standing at 1.82 meters and weighing 78 kilograms, Slavy is known for his physical power, tactical intelligence, and goal-scoring ability. His profile aligns with what Rubén Torrecilla is looking for in the attacking department: a mobile striker with a presence in the box, commitment, and goals.
The sporting direction of Hércules views his signing as a strategic move for the present and the future. At 23 years old, Slavy arrives at a point of sporting maturity and with the desire to continue growing at the Rico Pérez.
Slavy is now a blanquiazul. Work, goals, and ambition for the attacking line.
Welcome to Alicante.
