“Not just the director, not just the medical staff, the coaching staff, the players, the suppporters ,it’s all of you.

“If asked to write a script for my career 12 years ago, there is no way I would’ve been able to dream up this journey, I started here at the end of this ride and look back in awe of what l’ve experienced.

“The wins and the losses will be remembered, but what I’ll remember most are the people – the fans inside Sonera Stadium and the staff and coaches who pushed me and held me together, the teammates (and even opponents) who will be life-long friends, shares my ups and downs with family and close friends, and most importantly, the snapshots of my kids growing up and reading and watching Dad’s work.that is what I will cherish the most.

“I take with me many memories, lessons and great moments that will live with me forever. Yes , it is time to say goodbye and face new challenges. I am moving forward to a new country, to another great club with amazing fans and I am looking forward to it but the time spent with you, as well as the happiness and love that I felt here will always stay with me.
