Zimbru managed to make a new important transfer this winter. The team trained by Oleg Kubarev signed a contract with the national youth team captain Ion Jardan, IPN reports.

The 24-year-old fullback earlier played for Rapid Ghidighici and Arsenal Kiev. Jardan was close to transferring to FC Botosani in January, but ultimately rejected the offer, being dissatisfied with the remuneration.

Ion Jardan is the seventh player signed by Zimbru this winter, after fullbacks Iulian Erhan, Dmitri Klimovici and Kiril Pavliucek, halfback Alexandru Vremea and Brazilians Fernando Quintela and Xavier Ademar. 

“We will continue to transfer valuable players so as to ensure greater competition in the team,” coach Oleg Kubarev stated for the club’s website.

Zimbru will play the first official match this year on February 28, against Veris. After 19 stages played, Zimbru ranks seventh in the National Division.
