■ Comments
I have decided to transfer to Sint-Truiden. I am sincerely grateful to all the supporters who have given me so much love during the one and a half years since I joined Albirex Niigata. I look back on the many happy memories and sad events that I was able to share with everyone who supported me. Last season in particular, we were able to win the J2 championship and get promoted to J1, which was a great result, and I was really happy that the entire Niigata team was happy with each other.

In the past, I wasn’t able to perform well on the J1 stage. Niigata welcomed me and gave me the opportunity to play. Although I kept saying, “I will win the title this season,” I feel very sorry that I had to transfer in the middle of the season. think.

This will be my first overseas challenge, but I will continue to work hard so that I can deliver my success to everyone, so I would be happy if you could continue to support Ryotaro Ito. It was a short period of time, but thank you very much for all the applause and support.
