JAKARTA - Egy Maulana Vikri has completed his career in Europe and returned to Indonesia. He was also officially introduced by Dewa United as their new player in the 2023 season.

This news was shared directly through Dewa United's Instagram account on Monday, January 30 morning WIB. South Tangerang Warrior uploaded a short video showing Egy Maulana Vikri appearing with Dewa United's jersey.

"Yes, he officially joined us. Welcome @egymaulanavikri," wrote Dewa United's official account.

Before officially returning to Indonesia and defending Dewa United, Egy was one of the national team players who pursued a career in Europe.

In 2018 he officially joined Polish League club Lechia Gdansk. Three years there, Egy then continued his career in another European country, Slovakia.

FK Senica became the team that Egy defended in 2021. A year of career at FK Senica, he then crossed over to Serbian club Zlate Moravce in 2022.

Egy's recruitment as Dewa United's new player is a form of the club's seriousness in navigating the second round of the 2023 season.

This is in line with what Dewa United CEO, Ardian Satya Negara, said that he had long been in communication with the player.

"Of course we are very happy with Egy's presence in the Dewa United FC squad," said Ardian Satya Negara in a statement received Monday, January 30.

"Everyone knows how Egy's quality is, which is one of the best players in Indonesia," continued Ardian Satya Negara.

"We intensely communicated with Egy after his contract at Slovak's club expired. We talked a lot about Dewa United FC and Egy also expressed their readiness to join this team," he continued.

Dewa United is indeed among the most active in the half-season transfer market. Before Egy, several players were also brought to Tangerang.

Not long ago, they brought in Ramai Rumakiek from Persipura Jayapura. Rumakiek joined the loan status.

In the Dewa United FC squad, Rumakiek will return to play with Theo Fillo Numberi and Brian Fatari, two of his colleagues while defending Persipura Jayapura.
