Ghanaian defender Nathaniel Adjei bid an emotional farewell to his former club Hammarby IF following his transfer to FC Lorient.

Adjei enjoyed a successful two-and-a-half-year stint with Hammarby before moving to FC Lorient on loan in January.

His stellar performances during the loan spell convinced FC Lorient to make the move permanent, making Adjei the most expensive player in the history of the Swedish Allsvenskan.

The 21-year-old took to social media to express his gratitude and bid farewell to his former club and teammates.

“Hello everyone. It’s been almost three years since I arrived at Hammarby.”

“My goal has always been to contribute to Hammarby’s growth and make it even more amazing than it already is, and that’s been my mission since the day I signed.”

“I’ve had many wonderful experiences as well as some challenges during my time at this wonderful club. Through it all, I’ve been supported by amazing fans at a fantastic club, both in good times and bad.”

“I will always cherish the support I received during my toughest moments.”

“It’s been a privilege to play, enjoy, and smile in a stadium as special as Tele2Arena, alongside our incredible fans.”

“I also want to thank all my teammates, the staff, and everyone who has always believed in me.”

“Today marks the end of a chapter in our lives that we will never forget. My love for Hammarby will last forever.”

Forza Bajen 💚🤍

During his time with Hammarby, Adjei scored 1 goal in 24 appearances for the club.

Following his move, Adjei featured in 15 matches for FC Lorient during the latter half of the French Ligue 1 season.
