PHNOM PENH (21 August 2014) –Cambodian champions Phnom Penh Crown have signed up Dutchman Koen Bosma in a bid to further strengthen their squad for the new season.
“Joining PPCFC is a perfect move for me,” said Bosma. “I have high expectations and the fans can expect goals and assists from me. I am a player who loves to have the ball and take on opponents.”
The 23-year-old Dutchman had previously played for Dutch third tier side VVSB, scoring 17 goals and making 16 assists from 27 matches in the past season.
“I am very happy that this deal with Koen has come through. I considered him for the second part of the season in May but it didn’t work out back then. Later he came for try-out and showed determination to be part of our project,” said Crown head coach Sam Schweingruber.
“He is technically very good and because he uses both feet equally, for a defender he’s hard to predict. He has great instincts and scores lots of goals. I also like his confidence and ambition – somebody that it is a joy to work with. He is smart, disciplined and professional – what we need to move forward in our attempt to be the best club in Cambodia and to retain our title.”
