“I want to start by thanking everyone (club, players, fans and staff) this was a place where I felt at home, you fans made an impact on my career and will never be forgotten by me, I will miss you!

“I hope I made you very proud, you can be sure that I always tried to give my best version, as a player and as a human being. It was 5 years of many joys, celebrations, struggles, learning, games, fun and many other things.

“Now I will continue my life at another club, but my fans and passion for you will never fade, thank you for everything.”
