Shimizu S-Pulse on Monday announced the arrival of midfielder Kohei Shimizu on a half-season loan from Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

The 28-year-old joined Sanfrecce in 2008 after graduating from high school and had made over 100 appearances for the club, including 12 in the current MEIJI YASUDA J1 League campaign.

“I want to add to the team’s strength as soon as possible and contribute to our victories,” Shimizu commented.

As part of the terms of the loan, Shimizu will not be able to appear in any official matches against Sanfrecce in any competition.
