Timrå hat die Verpflichtung des 26-jährigen finnischen Stürmers Otto Kivenmäki für zwei Jahre perfekt gemacht. Dieser Transfer stellt den ersten Schritt des Vereins dar, seinen Kader nach den jüngsten Abgängen neu aufzubauen.
Sportdirektor Kent Norberg gab den Deal am Freitag bekannt. Kivenmäki wechselt von SaiPa aus der höchsten finnischen Liga nach Timrå, wo er in der vergangenen Saison 57 Scorerpunkte erzielte. Zudem wurde er in derselben Spielzeit für die Nationalmannschaft berufen.
Timrå plans to cut its forward group from 16 players to 14 or 15 ahead of the new season. Sport chief Kent Norberg said at least one and possibly two forwards will depart via loan or sale. The moves come after the departures of key offensive players Jonathan Dahlén and Elias Pettersson.
