Hendry disembarks from Ostend. Nusa arrives from Stabaek and has signed a three-year contract. Maouassa signed him for four years from Rennes. Jack Hendry, 26, was loaned to Ostend by Celtic Glasgow last season before being acquired defensively by the Coasters this summer. To attract the Scottish defender, the Bruges residents paid the player’s release clause, Ostend said. He had played 36 games and scored 2 goals for KVO.
16-year-old Nusa is considered one of the great talents of Norwegian football. This season, the winger has already played 11 games with Stabaek in Norwegian D1 and scored three goals.
Maouassa, 23, is a left-back who has been playing for Rennes since 2017. Loaned to Nîmes during the 2018-2019 season, the French international hopefuls played 80 games with Jérémy Doku’s club and scored three goals.
The last is certainly the most surprising with the return to the fold of José Izquierdo, former Golden Boot. José Izquierdo, left free by Brighton, returns to Club Brugge ‘”to recover from his injuries,” said the Bruges residents on Tuesday in a statement. Izquierdo, 29, had had his first stint at Club Brugge between 2014 and 2017. In the space of three seasons, he had won a Belgian championship title and a Belgian cup collectively and a Shoe. Gold and a title of Pro Footballer of the Year on an individual level.
In 2017, the Colombian joined Brighton in the Premier League. An adventure that turned sour for the winger who only played 54 games for the Seagulls. In the past two seasons he has spent more time in the infirmary than on the pitch with only one game played.
Not extended by Brighton, the ‘Blauw & Zwart’ want to offer a chance to their former player to revive. “The Club are giving Izquierdo the chance to recover quietly from his injuries at Basecamp and to find his best level,” wrote the Bruges residents in their press release.
“I am very happy that the Club gives me this chance”, reacted the Colombian, quoted in the press release. “I have always felt good and I could not ask for better facilities for my revalidation. I will do everything to get back to my best level and I hope to be able to show my recognition on the pitch soon.”
