Malaysia national defender Matthew Davies has completed his RM2 million transfer to defending Super League champions Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT).
It is understood that the former Pahang captain signed a three-year deal with the club and will be making his debut against Kedah in the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup this 28 February.
Following his move to the Southern Tigers, Davies said he will have to work hard to earn his place in the team and is looking forward to achieving great things with them.
“I have to adapt to the style, the expectations and the pace that JDT have set.
“Just be patient with me and I will work really hard to have success with this team. I will work really hard on and off the field and I hope to slowly win over the fans. And continue to contribute to the success of JDT.
“This is a dream come true for me, because the best players want to be surrounded by the best players and you know they all make each other’s job easier. So it’s natural for a player to want to be around the best players in the country. It’s a dream come true to be lining up alongside those players.
“I came here to win things, to help JDT create history and help them to continue doing that,” shared the 25-year-old during the official player signing ceremony.
