Balili joins
Israeli striker Pini Balili has agreed a two-year contract following a successful trial. The 25-year-old, who played for Istanbulspor AS last season, said: "I received a lot of offers but never thought about leaving Turkey. I love Turkey. [Kayserispor player] Salim Tuama, who I was with for six years at Hapoel Tel-Aviv [FC], had a significant role in my decision to join Kayserispor."
Peto arrives
The second addition is Hungary vice-captain Zoltán Peto, who has arrived from MFC Sopron. The 29-year-old defender has signed a two-year deal. Kayserispor were promoted last season under the name Erciyesspor, and are not to be confused with another side from Kayseri, who used to compete as Kayserispor but are now Kayseri Erciyesspor.
