Emilijus Zubas (born 10 July 1990) is a Lithuanian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Israeli club Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Club career

[edit]

Daugava Rīga

[edit]

Before the start of the 2013 Latvian Higher League season Zubas signed a long-term contract with Daugava Rīga moving from the Lithuanian A Lyga club FK Ekranas. With Artūrs Vaičulis filling the first keeper's spot, Zubas was loaned out to the Polish Ekstraklasa club GKS Bełchatów. Despite remarkable individual performance his club was relegated from the Ekstraklasa and Zubas returned to Daugava Rīga. For the second half of the 2013 season he was loaned out to the Cypriot First Division club AEK Larnaca.[1] Before the start of the 2014 season Zubas was loaned to the Danish Superliga club Viborg FF. In July 2014 Zubas was recalled from loan and filled in Daugava's entry for the UEFA Europa League match against Aberdeen.[2] Following the match he was yet again sent out on loan, returning to his former club GKS Bełchatów.[3]

GKS Bełchatów

[edit]

In January 2013, Zubas joined Polish Ekstraklasa club GKS Bełchatów on loan. Despite GKS's relegation at the end of the season, Zubas was repeatedly praised for his performance and form,[4] which resulted in his first call-up to the Lithuanian national team. He was also voted as the best goalkeeper of the 2012–13 Ekstraklasa season.[5]
