Nagoya Grampus on Wednesday announced that defender Ryo Takahashi and midfielder Ryuji Izumi have both been signed to ‘Pro A’ contracts with the club.

The two players both reached the minimum playing time requirements for ‘A’ contracts this month.

“I can’t be satisfied with how I’m currently playing and want to remain grateful and ambitious as I contribute to our team’s victories,” Takahashi commented.

“I feel an even greater sense of responsibility as a Nagoya Grampus player, and want to do my best every day for the club and everyone involved,” added Izumi.
