JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta's stretch in the transfer market for Liga 1 players has not ended. After bringing in Firza Handika and Hanif Sjahbandi, this time the Kemayoran Tigers brought back former Indonesian national team players.

Persija Jakarta officially announced the arrival of Hansamu Yama from Bhayangkara FC. The player who was born on January 16, 1995 is expected to strengthen the defense of the Kemayoran Tigers.

Persija Jakarta recruited Hansamu Yama on a one-season contract. However, there is an option for an extension of one more season if his performance can attract club management.

"Hansamu has agreed to stay in Jakarta for one season with the option to extend his contract for another season," read a statement on the club's official website.

Hansamu said there were two reasons why he decided to join Persija Jakarta.

"First, Persija is a big team in Indonesia with a myriad of achievements. Second, all players in Indonesia definitely want to join Persija," said Hansamu.

According to him, he is one of the lucky players to get the opportunity to wear the Persija Jakarta uniform. For that, the former Persebaya Surabaya player will not waste this opportunity.

Regarding the target, Hansamu Yama doesn't want to be too grandiose. The target with Persija Jakarta is to perform as much as possible and win match after match together so as to bring the Kemayoran Tigers to become champions.
