“We have been following Ivan for a while and he has a very good pedigree after his seasons in the Eredivisie,” said manager Nathan Jones. “He is an excellent athlete, tall and very versatile: he can play on the left side and help out on the right. We won the competition to get him and he will provide a nice option on the left flank. »
Aged 25, Mesik already has several experiences abroad. He left Slovakia for Denmark in 2020, where he spent three seasons with FC Nordsjaelland, punctuated by loan spells in Norway at Stabæk and Odd. In 2023, he played a season in Italy with Pescara (third division), before joining Heracles in 2024. England thus becomes the sixth country where he plays for a club.
