JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta has found a substitute for Makan Konate. The club nicknamed the Kemayoran Tigers brought in a former European league player, Hanno Behrens.

The 32-year-old is contracted for the next three seasons. Behrens' presence at Persija Jakarta added to the European flavor in Thomas Doll's team.

Before Behrens, Persija Jakarta had brought in two players who also graduated from the European league. They are Michael Krmencik (former Czech League player) and Odrej Kudela (Czech national team player).

Hanno previously spent his career in Germany. The player who has a height of 188 cm started his career from Hamburg SV and Hamburg SV II for four years. Then he played for Darmstadt 98 during 2012-2015.

1. FC Nurnberg became the longest club that Hanno defended, namely in the 2015-2021 period. Hanno was also believed to be the captain there. Hansa Rostock became his last club before moving to Jakarta.

During his career, Hanno was a very productive midfielder. Evidently during his career, Hanno managed to score a total of 54 goals.

Hanno collected seven goals while playing for Hamburg SV, 12 goals with Darmstadt 98, and 30 goals in 181 appearances for 1. FC Nurnberg. Hanno also recorded five goals and six assists while defending Hansa Rostock.

"Finally we have Hanno in our midfield. For me Hanno is a very productive midfielder. I hope he can help the midfield to move the ball forward," said Thomas Doll.

"Hanno has experience playing in German clubs. One of them was my previous club, Hansa Rostock and Hamburg SV," continued the Persija Jakarta coach.
