Official: Janko joins Bochum on loan
VfL Bochum officially introduced fullback/winger Saidy Janko as a new 2022/23 squad player on Monday evening.
"Saidy Janko will liven up the competition on our [right] flank," Bochum manager Sebastian Schindzielorz noted on the club's website, "He is in his prime, possesses speed as well as athleticism and, due to his extensive CV, is familiar with the demands of football at the highest level. His international background will certainly be helpful in integrating him into the team."
Janko himself spoke of a great "curiosity about the Bundesliga" and vowed to do everything he could to help the club succeed in its objectives. The "extensive CV" Schindzielorz refers to includes stops at FC Zurich, Manchester United, Bolton Wanderers, FC Barnsley, Nottingham Forest, Celtic Glasgow, AS St. Etienne, BSC Young Boys, and Valladolid.
🗣️ Saidy #Janko: "Der VfL ist ein Traditionsverein mit einem echt coolen Stadion, wo eine riesige Stimmung herrscht. Die Vorfreude aufs Team ist groß, ebenso wie die Neugierde auf die Bundesliga."
