Matija Širok has decided he’s had enough: the 32-year-old defender waves goodbye to Gorica, but he’s also saying goodbye to football
After 271 matches in
Telemach First League
Matija Širok decided that enough was enough. The 32-year-old defensive footballer waved goodbye to
Gorica
but not only to his long-standing club. He also said goodbye to football, hanging up his football boots.
“The joint journey of Gorica and the club’s child Matija Široka is over. A path that continued through the youth selections to the first team, then abroad and even to the Slovenian national team. A fighter and all-rounder who has always shown the right attitude to the club colours and crest on the pitch, he has made 262 appearances for Gorica in all competitions, scoring 8 goals. The sweetest memory remains the celebration in the 2014 Slovenian Cup final… Matija, thank you for everything. Perhaps our paths will cross again in the future in some other capacity,” said the team from Nova Gorica.
Matija Širok, who comes from Šempeter near Gorica, has also played in Poland for Jagielonia and in Cyprus for Paphos, while in Slovenia he was a member of Domžale. He was also a member of Parma for a while, at least on paper, but did not play a single minute for them. He was also a Slovenian youth international, playing twice for the Slovenian B-team and was called up to the national team several times.
