We would like to announce that Naoki Maeda who was loaned from Nagoya Grampus to FC Utrecht of Eredivisie, has agreed to rejoin to FC Utrecht on loan deal.

Naoki’s comment

"Hello Nagoya Grampus supporters, It has been a while.

I have agreed to rejoin to FC Utrecht on loan deal.

It was on January 16th, the day of my debut game in Netherland I suffered a serious injury during the match. 

After the injury, I have never been so disoriented in my life.

For seven months since then, I have been rehabbing and training in the Netherlands, while Nagoya Grampus has understood my thoughts and feelings.

During my rehabilitation, I continued to feel anxious, but I received a lot of support, especially from the staff in Utrecht. 

The more those days went on, I have a desire to challenge myself here again. 

And then, I am very happy to be able to make this announcement today on the last day of the transfer window in the Netherlands, 

I thanks to everyone who involved at Grampus for their generosity and understanding.

I will do my best to play in Utrecht, and It will be great if I could make Nagoya Grampus and the Grampus family happy. 

I hope you will continue to support Naoki Maeda!"
