Jojo Wollacott joins FC Kosice on a short-term contract

Ghanaian international goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott has joined Slovak club FC Kosice on a short-term contract until the end of 2026, with the club holding an option to extend the agreement until 2027.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper has already spent two weeks training with the yellow-and-blue side and will now compete with Matus Kira and Filip Kalanin for the starting goalkeeping position.

Wollacott’s arrival follows the departure of Kevin Dabrowski at the end of the summer transfer window, prompting Kosice’s sporting management to seek an experienced goalkeeper to strengthen the squad.

Kosice sporting director Terry Westley said Wollacott’s experience, professionalism and willingness to work with the existing goalkeeping group were important factors behind the decision to sign him.

“We were looking for an experienced goalkeeper who would naturally fit into the environment and culture of our club,” Westley explained. “Joe is a professional in every way and is ready to pass on his experience.”

Wollacott joins Kosice after spells with several clubs in England, including Bristol City, Forest Green Rovers, Swindon Town, Charlton Athletic and Crawley Town. He also spent the 2023/24 season with Scottish side Hibernian.
