The new dreamteam?

Two good news for us today!

1. Our Topscorer Tetsuya Okubo, who scored 14 goals for us last season, will stay at Avispa and signed a contract for two more years till january 31st 2011.
Okubo came to Avispa with a loan-contract from Kashiwa Reysol in 2008.
Okubo: "My goal is to promote with Avispa next year to fight Reysol."

2. J2s 2nd placed Topscorer Yutaka Takahashi from Roasso Kumamoto will join our team for season 2009. Takahashi finished second at the topscorerlist behind Hisato Sato with 19 goals.
He was Roassos goalmachine since 2006. He scored 63 goals in 110 goals for the wild horses.

Now we have two excellent forwards who scored regulally back in 2008.
Let's hope they find a good chemestry between them as soon as possible, but who don't want to play along a clown?

Some goals from Takahashi 2008

Why Hokuto? Why?

Hokuto Nakamura will leave us for J1 side FC Tokyo...
There was rumours the last weeks, that Tokyo wanted to sign our young superstar to help Sota Hirayama to score more goals again.
And now it's reality...
The two clubs reported on their websites that the deal is perfect.
But it was just a matter of time anyway, because all japanese football fans know that Hokuto got the potencial to play in the J.League.

Hokuto joined us in 2004 from Kunimi High School in Nagasaki, where he was a classmate of Hirayama. After good performances, he moved up to the japanese U-20 in 2004 (He already played for the U-18 and U-19 earlier). He was a part of the youth-nationalteam at the AFC Youth Championship in 2004 and at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2005 in the Netherlands.

At november 22nd back in 2006, Hokuto sufferd a bad knee injury at the youth-international game against South Korea. He nearly missed the whole season in 2007 and could only play 3 games.
1 1/2 later, in April 2008, Hokuto was called up again and played at the Toulon Tournament, but it was already to late to make it into the squad for Beijing 2008 Olympics.

Hokuto made 105 games for us and scored 11 goals.

We wish him all the best at the capital and we will follow his games at FC Tokyo
Sonayara Hokuto...

Miyahara joins Avispa

Avispa annouced the signing of Ehime FCs Yuji Miyahara.
Miyahara played 19 games and scored one goal for the orange guys from Shikoku.
He already played for us from 2002 till 2004 and made 48 games that time.
He also played for Nagoya Grampus , Cerezo Osaka and Sagan Tosu.
