Ibusuki Leave the Club [Squad/Transfer]
Albirex Niigata annnounced their striker Hiroshi Ibusuki's permanent move to J2 side JEF United Ichihara Chiba. The tall forward joined from spanish team in the summer of 2014 played well not only scoring goals but as a target man.
But in 2016 he suffered back injury and got only one league goal in 21 appearance. In this season two games finished but the striker has not been named in the squad.
We all hope he will be fine at the new team.
Thank you Ibu!
Here is his farewell comment on the club web page
"I have wanted to stay the team to play the games and to make results but it is pity that I can't. I would like to play hard for the new club to let everyone in Niigata hear my name. I feel sad but I am going."
