Atomu Tanaka is a KTP man. PDO
The Japanese legend of the Betting League Atom Tanaka37, has found a new club.
Tanaka has signed a one-year contract with KTP, which is returning to the league.
– “Atom” is a player who is used to winning and fits very well with Jonas (Nyholm, KTP’s head coach) playing style as a player with running power. We have thought of him as a player in the middle of the field, but of course he can also play in his twenties, sports manager of the kotkala club Niko Ikävalko is planning.
Tanaka spent eight seasons at HJK and won five championships during that time.
The Japanese player, who is popular among fans, had little playing time last season, and no further contract was signed.
Ikävalko says that KTP has tried to recruit Tanaka to its ranks in the past.
– He is the kind of player that our young players can follow as a model. Atom is certainly also a good player for us in terms of marketing.
