JAY Malshanskyj insists Malvern Town will prove they belong at Step Three after becoming the club’s first summer signing.
Malshanskyj made the move to the Hillsiders following a spell with Bishops Cleeve last season.
The winger has also turned out for the likes of Weston-super-Mare, Yate Town, Melksham Town and Taunton Town.
And Malshanskyj could not wait to join the Hillsiders after speaking with Malvern boss Lee Hooper.
Malshanskyj said: “I just can’t wait to get started.
“As soon as the club contacted me and I spoke to the gaffer, my mind was made up to come here.
“The style of play suits me to a tee and the whole set-up here is so professional.
“Everything is done right and that’s going to be so important as we look to make our mark in Step Three.
“This is the right club for me to push on and I am looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead.”
Malvern clinched promotion via the Southern League Division One South play-offs last season with the club to play at Step Three for the first time in 2026/27.

Malshanskyj added: “I’m pacy and direct.
“I like to get on the scoresheet and also create goals for others.
“I’ll be giving everything I’ve got to ensure that we can prove we belong here at this level.
“The role of the fans is going to be so important too and I want to put in performances that will excite and entertain.
“I’ve played against Malvern Town a number of times over the years and I know how well supported the club is.
“The fanbase is growing all of the time and it’s exciting to be part of a club that is making such great progress.”
