Timrå has completed the signing of 26-year-old Finnish forward Otto Kivenmäki on a two-year contract. The move marks the club's first step to rebuild its roster after recent departures.
Sporting director Kent Norberg announced the deal on Friday. Kivenmäki arrives from SaiPa in Finland's top league, where he recorded 57 points in the most recent season. He also earned a call-up to the national team during that campaign.
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.
