Ghana international Kingsley Schindler has said his goodbye to FC Koln after completing his transfer move to Turkish side Yılport Samsunspor.
The 30-year-old finalised the deal on Wednesday, July 26.
In an announcement from Samsunspor, it was revealed that Schindler has signed a two-year contract with the option for an additional year extension ahead of the new Turkish season.
The player then bid farewell to the Bundesliga club on Thursday and revealed his expectation in the coming years.
“Dear FC fans, I would like to thank you for the four best years of my career so far! I had so many great moments with the team and I will miss the unique atmosphere in Müngersdorf. Conference League, Derby victories and the birth of my daughter – I experienced and enjoyed everything in cologne,” he wrote in a social media post.
“I’m facing a new adventure. Going abroad with 30 years and my great family and looking forward to what’s to come.
You can never go quite like that!”
Schindler, 30, brings a wealth of experience from his time in the German top-tier and lower leagues. He is expected to play a vital role for his new club as they gear up for the new Turkish Super Lig campaign.
