Pavels Valkovskis leaves HSC Coburg: move to TBV Lemgo fixed!

A change that is causing a stir: Latvian national player Janis Pavels Valkovskis will be moving to TBV Lemgo Lippe, one of the first-class teams in the 1st Handball Bundesliga, for the coming 2026/27 season. This step means that HSC 2000 Coburg has to do without its talented backfield left player, like hsc2000.de reported. HSC managing director Jan Gorr has mixed feelings, but sees the change as confirmation of the Coburg path. Valkovskis is being courted by other clubs, which underlines his development and performance.

The 22-year-old came to Coburg from HSC Bad Neustadt in 2018 and has since had an impressive career at the club with 230 goals in 64 games. Last season he managed to score 165 goals, which is a remarkable achievement for a player of his age group and position. The Latvia national team called him up in December 2022 and is coached by his father, Margots Valkovskis. Valkovskis' talent is undeniable and was also discovered at TBV Lemgo Lippe, where he has already agreed on his move np-coburg.de supplemented.

The reasons for the change

Valkovskis has decided not to extend his contract with HSC Coburg, which expires in 2026. For many players, moving to a Bundesliga club is a logical step after previous success and shows that hard work is rewarded. Gorr emphasizes that the HSC 2000 Coburg promotes talented players and is therefore on the right track, even if departures such as that of Merlin Fuß, who is moving to Balingen, as well as the resignation of Florian Billek and Jan Schäffer will put the team under scrutiny.

Valkovskis himself expressed his gratitude to the HSC for the numerous opportunities for personal and sporting development that were offered to him. He made his debut in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga on April 14, 2023 and quickly developed into an important part of the team.

A look into the future

With the move to TBV Lemgo Lippe, Valkovskis will play in an ambitious team that is currently in a strong fifth place in the table. He now faces a new sporting challenge that could further strengthen his skills at national level. Handball is very important in Germany, and the Bundesliga is considered one of the strongest leagues in the world.

Valkovskis' development is an example of how promising the development of young talent in handball is, and the coming years could be extremely exciting for him. It remains to be seen whether the expectations and ambitions associated with the move will be fulfilled, but one thing is certain: he will do everything in his power to delight the fans in Lemgo.
