“We believe that he will build on his successful years in Pilsen and will also help us with the training of young players in the cabin,” said general manager and co-owner of the club Martin Straka.
Mertl came to Pilsen in 2017. After a successful season in which he scored 57 points in the regular season, he left for the KHL. But he only worked in Kunlun for a year and then returned to western Bohemia. In the autumn, he will start his fifth season in a row and sixth overall in Pilsen. “My family and I really like Pilsen. It’s our second home. I’m glad that I agreed on a contract extension,” said Mertl.
The České Budějovice native played 57 games for Pilsen last season, including the playoffs, in which he collected 24 points for 14 goals and ten assists. In total, Mertl has played 772 games in the extra league with a balance of 175 goals and 192 assists. In addition to Pilsen and his mother České Budějovice, he also played in Hradec Králové.
