The defensive exodus from Rosenborg BK shows no sign of abating with the news that Sweden left-back Mikael Dorsin will join Romanian league leaders CFR 1907 Cluj during the January transfer window.
Free transfer
Dorsin, who has failed to agree a new contract with Rosenborg, will move to Cluj on a free transfer having accepted a deal until summer 2011. The 26-year-old, capped ten times by his country, becomes the fourth defender to announce his intention to leave Norway's UEFA Champions League contenders: Bjørn Tore Kvarme and Roar Strand are set to retire, while Miika Koppinen will switch to Tromsø IL on a free transfer.
Cluj top
Dorsin began his career at Djurgårdens IF FF before arriving at Rosenborg in 2004 following a brief loan spell at RC Strasbourg. He will be the 19th foreign player at Cluj, who lead Romania's Liga 1 after 12 matches. Rosenborg are away to Valencia CF next Tuesday when new coach Trond Henriksen takes charge of his first UEFA Champions League game following Knut Tørum's departure.
