FCI Levadia and Joseph Saliste have signed a three-year contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Left-back Joseph Saliste represented Paide Linnameeskond for the past six seasons and was one of the club\u2019s most consistent and experienced players in the Premium Liiga during that period. Wearing Paide\u2019s colours, Saliste established himself as a regular starter, standing out with his work rate, defensive reliability and game intelligence. Prior to Paide, Saliste spent one season with Narva Trans and developed as a footballer in FC Flora\u2019s system. He left Flora in 2019 to join Narva Trans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Paide Linnameeskond, Saliste made a total of 218 appearances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>8 goals<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>25 assists<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>18,334 minutes played<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>His contribution helped Paide achieve several high league finishes, as well as win the Super Cup in 2022 and the Tipner Cup in 2023. With FC Flora, Joseph has also won the Estonian championship twice (2015 and 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to his consistent performances at club level, Joseph Saliste also earned his place in the Estonian national team, for which he has so far made 10 appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joseph Saliste:<\/strong> <em>\u201cI\u2019m very happy to join an ambitious and success-driven club like FCI Levadia. The club\u2019s professionalism and standards have always been high, and I will give my maximum both in training and in matches to achieve our shared goals. I\u2019m also pleased to train and play again under head coach Zahovaiko. I\u2019m really looking forward to the upcoming Premium Liiga season and meeting Levadia\u2019s fans!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FCI Levadia Sporting Department:<\/strong> <em>\u201cWe constantly monitor footballers playing in the Estonian league, and Joseph\u2019s quality is exactly what our team needs. As an experienced player and a member of the Estonian national team, he was a logical choice following Larsen\u2019s departure. We are happy that Joseph chose FCI Levadia, as he had opportunities to continue his career elsewhere but decided in our favour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FCI Levadia warmly welcomes Joseph Saliste to the club and wishes him every success in the green shirt. We are confident that his experience and quality will add significant strength to the team both domestically and on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: FCI Levadia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FCI Levadia is pleased to announce that Estonian international Joseph Saliste (30) has joined the club from Paide Linnameeskond.
