Former Ghana captain André Ayew has secured a return to European football after joining Dutch Eredivisie side NAC Breda on a short-term deal.
The 36-year-old has signed a contract until the end of the current season, with NAC holding an option to extend the deal for an additional year.
Speaking after completing the move, Ayew highlighted the challenge ahead:
“I really enjoy challenges, both personally and as part of a team. I find that here at NAC. Staying in the Eredivisie is the only thing that matters right now. The mental aspect is crucial, and together with our supporters, we must fight this battle head-on.
NAC Technical Director Peter Maas believes Ayew’s experience could prove decisive in their survival bid:
“André is eager to help NAC. That was clear from our conversations. He’s been through tough moments in his career and remains a true professional. We believe his experience and qualities can make a real difference.”
Ayew joins the squad of head coach Carl Hoefkens immediately, with NAC set to resume training on January 2 at the BO Infra Training Complex in Zundert.
