Zimbru Chisinau was left by the team’s captain. Ion Jardan signed for the big rival of the “yellow-greens” Sheriff Tiraspol. The 27-year-old fullback signed a contract valid for two seasons, IPN reports.

“I hope the next changes in my sports life will affect no one emotionally. I wish success to the team and hope that Zimbru will reach the Europa League qualifying competition at the end of the championship,” stated Ion Jardan.

Jardan played 82 matches and scored three goals for Zimbru. The team trained by Veaceslav Rusnac went to Malta for training without him.
