Last season, Vilnius team, which finished third in the Lithuanian championship and earned a ticket to the Intertoto Cup, strengthened its offensive arsenal with Vitalijus Stankevičius. The 24-year-old striker, who represented the relegated Kėdainiai "Nevėžis" last season in the "A Lyga", has been participating in tryouts for "Vėtra" for some time now and finally signed a three-year contract. This year, the forward was named the best player of "Nevėžis", coached by footballer's father Vitalijus Stankevičius. During the 2006 season, he beat opposing goalkeepers in the Lithuanian championship 13 times and entered the top ten of the most productive players in the championship. Meanwhile, another former "Nevėžis" player Marius Činikas, who initially participated in the tryouts with V.Stankevičius for "Vėtra", according to unofficial information, is already training with the players of "FBK Kaunas".
