Kudrivka signs Panama striker Barrera on loan

Ukrainian Premier League newcomers Kudrivka have officially confirmed the loan signing of Panamanian forward Verley Barrera. The 24-year-old already has experience in Ukraine’s top flight — he spent the second half of the 2025/26 season with Zorya Luhansk, making six appearances and scoring once. Before moving to Ukraine, Barrera played in his homeland for San Francisco and Alianza. In Panama’s domestic league, he featured in 109 matches, netting 18 goals and providing nine assists. Barrera becomes the first Panamanian player in Kudrivka’s history. The club hopes his arrival will boost their chances in their debut campaign in the Ukrainian Premier League.
