Several League One and Championship clubs are interested in former Shrewsbury Town custodian Marko Marosi, according to Football Insider.
The previous season, Shrewsbury Town placed 19th in League One. At the end of the season, the Salop were only four points above the relegation zone; if they hadn’t had their best custodian, they might have finished in League Two.
Marosi, 30, last appeared in 43 League One games for Shrewsbury Town.
In a struggling team, he preserved ten clean sheets, and he has now completed three seasons in a row with double digit clean sheet totals in the third tier.
However, Marosi left the team at the end of the campaign and is currently unrestricted.
He was reportedly being watched by Rotherham United, Huddersfield Town, and Hibernian earlier this summer as they all sought to expand their goalkeeping options.
According to Football Insider, multiple League One teams are reportedly hoping to sign Marosi, and a few teams in the lower division are also reportedly keeping an eye on a possible deal that would make him the Championship’s second choice.
One of the best
In League One, Marosi has shown himself to be a clean goalie.
Over the course of his career, he has made 220 appearances in the third tier and, on occasion, has even started in the Championship, making 20 appearances in the second tier.
Despite being a seasoned player at thirty, he demonstrated last season that he is still capable of playing at a high level and starting the majority of games throughout a season.
It will be interesting to see which teams make the first move in their pursuit of Marosi this summer, even though the interested clubs are still unidentified in the most recent update.
Making the right switch
This summer, the Slovakian goalie needs to make a choice.
Does he continue in League One, where whichever team decides to sign him could very well see him as a regular starter? Alternatively, does he decide to go back to the Championship and settle for being a backup stopper in order to participate at a higher level?
Given his age, it’s hard to predict how long he can play consistently, but for the time being, it might make more sense for him to go somewhere where he can be sure of getting the most minutes.
This week marks the start of the season, so the sooner Marosi finds a new team, the better. If he is to be thrown into the deep end, he might need some time to adjust and catch up.
The window closes at the end of this month, but Marosi is not required to sign with a team by the customary deadline because he is a free agent.
