Australian international forward Kusini Yengi is expected to return to Japan’s J1 League following a decline in his standing at the Scottish club Aberdeen FC. Reports indicated that the 27-year-old striker, whose previous tenure in Japan with Cerezo Osaka was interrupted by surgery for a thigh injury, was nearing a loan move.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima subsequently announced the loan signing of Yengi from Aberdeen. The striker will wear the number 9 shirt and reunites with the J1 League, where his brother, Tete Yengi, plays for FC Machida Zelvia. Upon joining the club, Yengi stated, “I am excited to be a part of such a wonderful club as Sanfrecce Hiroshima. I want to play with my teammates as soon as possible and have a great season.”
