AGF Århus have signed Swedish international Jeffrey Aubynn from Örebro SK.
Two-year deal
The 26-year-old midfield player has signed a two-year contract with the Danish club, and, although he is under contract with the Allsvenskan side until early next year, AGF are negotiating for his immediate release.
'A new challenge'
"After four or five years in the Allsvenskan I really needed to see something new," said Aubynn, who has won two caps for Sweden. "I wanted to go to another country, where I can hopefully develop into a better player."
Hansen joy
"I could hardly believe my ears, when I first heard his name in connection with us," said AGF coach Poul Hansen. "I thought it would be completely unrealistic to get a player of his level to our club.I would really like to get him here right away. He is a player who can improve our team from the very start."
Goalkeeping reinforcement
In Croatia, HNK Rijeka have signed goalkeeper Tihomir Bulat. The 29-year-old, who has agreed a two-year deal, joins from German side FC St. Pauli, having previously played for HNK Šibenik in Croatia.
