by Colby Sissons the season continues in the Swedish premier league in the HV71 team.

– We have had discussions with Colby’s background troops for a long time, and this was a joint decision of both parties. The player gets a new start and a new beginning for what he does, and this gives us the opportunity to participate more strongly in the striker market, KalPa’s sports director Anssi Laine justifies on the club’s website.

The 26-year-old Canadian defender has scored 28 (2+26) points in 44 games this season. He is KalPa’s third best scorer by Matyas Kantner with. However, the balance of the last ten games is a modest 0+1.

The league’s transfer window ends on Thursday 15 February 2024 at 23:59 Finnish time. Before the transfer deadline expires, KalPa, which is in eighth place in the league, is still trying to repair its offensive equipment, which has been ravaged by injuries.

– Our injury situation forces us to make difficult decisions, but hopefully through this we can acquire the kind of attackers we want. It is clear that we are taking a certain kind of risk, but time will tell how it materializes, says Laine.

Sissons was already KalPa’s number one player in terms of average playing time last season.
