Overview

• MT Melsungen has finalized the signing of 33-year-old Hungarian national team goalkeeper László Bartucz from Tatabánya KC on a contract running through 2026.
• Bartucz will join Kristóf Palasics, another recent Hungarian signing, to form a reliable goalkeeper duo in response to Nebojsa Simic’s season-disrupting knee injury.
• Simic, the club’s first-choice keeper, suffered a cruciate ligament and meniscus tear in April 2025 and is expected to miss at least the first half of the upcoming season.
• Sport director Michael Allendorf emphasized the importance of creating a balanced and dependable goalkeeper partnership to maintain the team’s competitive edge.
• Bartucz brings extensive experience, with 36 appearances for the Hungarian national team, and is expected to complement Palasics effectively in the Handball-Bundesliga.
