Keeper Giedrius Arlauskis joins Russian champions

Lithuanian keeper Giedrius Arlauskis has left Unirea Urziceni to join reigning Russian Premier League champions Rubin Kazan. The 22 year old has switched clubs for a reported 2 million euro fee.

Arlauskis started his career with FK Žalgiris Vilnius and joined Unirea from Šiauliai in 2008. He was part of the club’s fairytale 09-10 Champions League run, where they beat Rangers and Sevilla and just about missed out on qualification for the knockout stages.

Arlauskis has signed a multi year contract with Rubin, who successfully defended their RPL title last season.

Arlauskis expressed delight at the move, saying that it was a good one for both him and Unirea.
