FC Spartak Moscow goalkeeper Maxim Kabanov has signed a one-year loan deal with Russian first division club FC Voronezh.
'Needs more practice'
The 19-year-old goalkeeper, who appeared for Spartak twice in this season's UEFA Champions League competition, is currently second choice to Ukrainian international Maxim Levitsky. "Our talented and young goalkeeper needs more match practice," said Spartak's technical director Alexandr Shikunov. "He will play more often in the first division, and will return a better player in a year."
