Official signing ceremony: I’ll do everything I can for Trabzonspor-Mikel

John Obi Mikel has promised to deploy his wealth of experience to help his new Turkey Super Lig side Trabzonspor achieve their aspirations this season.

The former Super Eagles’ captain made this pledge yesterday during his official contract signing ceremony at the Mehmet Ali Yilmaz Facilities Football Coordination Center in the presence of the club’s Chairman Ahmet Agaoglu.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mikel said : ”I would like to thank our President for his nice words. When I came to Trabzonspor, I saw how big a club it was with my own eyes.
”I know that Mr. President has made the club stable since he took office and brought Trabzonspor to the places it deserved again.
”I will do everything I can for this team structure consisting of young and talented players, both in and out of the field, whether it be experience or determination and challenge.”
Mikel who joined on a free transfer has penned a two-year contract worth three million euros with an option for another one year in the club’s favour.
Obi Mikel has already started training with his new teammates at Trabzonspor ahead of Thursday’s Europa League third qualifying round match against Sparta Prague.
Earlier, Agaoglu said in Mikel, the club has recruited a player who can share his experience with the younger players in the squad.
“Today we are organizing a signing ceremony with Obi Mikel, who is even unnecessary to talk about his career. We’re not just a footballer with Obi ethical ethics and a very large athlete with stance transferred.
