Article body
Swiss striker Alexandre Rey has completed his free transfer to Neuchâtel Xamax FC from FC Luzern.
Free agent
The 29-year-old, who has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Neuchâtel, became a free agent after the limited company that controls Luzern was declared bankrupt.
Follows Wiedekehr
Rey becomes the second player to leave Luzern for Neuchâtel following André Wiedekehr's move to the Maladière stadium. Like Luzern, Neuchâtel are involved in the Nationalliga A's relegation/promotion round, although they appear much better equipped in terms of players and morale to retain their top-flight status.
Training camp
Rey, who counts FC Sion among his former clubs, has already joined his new team-mates at a training camp in Tunis.
