Nndoka Boniface joins Jeff United Chiba on loan from Vissel Kobe

Jeff United Chiba has announced the loan signing of defender Nndoka Boniface from Vissel Kobe. The transfer agreement is set to run until June 30, 2027. Under the terms of the loan, Boniface will be ineligible to play in official matches against his parent club, Vissel Kobe.

The 30-year-old defender joined Vissel Kobe in January after spending three seasons with Yokohama FC. While he made nine appearances for Kobe, his playing time has been limited during the current 2026-27 season.

Boniface expressed his enthusiasm for the move, stating, “I am looking forward to playing in the Jeff uniform. I will do my best to make the most of this opportunity.” The move has drawn significant attention on social media due to the contrast between the two clubs' current standings, with Vissel Kobe sitting second in the J1 League and Jeff United Chiba currently in last place.
