We would like to announce that Naoki Maeda has joined Eredivisie side, FC Utrecht from Nagoya Grampus on loan.

"I have decided to move to Eredivisie side, FC Utrecht on loan.

I am 27 years old and this will be my first time playing in outside of Japan, but I will challenge with a strong determination to be a key player in the team immediately. 

I'll be aiming for the top level of the world as much as possible, and I'll play as aggressive as I was playing in Japan.

This year, I was able to win my first title as a professional footballer, and I am very happy that I was able to share the joy with everyone who supports Nagoya Grampus. 

I wish I could have greeted you all in person, but I am truly sorry for that I could not.I will do my best with the passionate support that I have received over the past four years in Nagoya. It would be very glad if you could continue to support Naoki Maeda!

Thank you to everyone involved with Nagoya Grampus.”
