Tejan brings European edge to Selangor attack
KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor have added a touch of European pedigree to their attack with Dutch-Jamaican forward Kay Tejan becoming the Red Giants’ fifth foreign signing ahead of the new M-League season.
Selangor FC has bolstered their attacking lineup with the signing of Dutch-Jamaican forward Kay Tejan, marking the Red Giants' fifth foreign acquisition ahead of the upcoming M-League season. The 29-year-old, standing at 1.87 meters tall, boasts an impressive repertoire of playing experience spanning the Dutch football pyramid, Moldova, Poland, and France. Tejan's career highlights include a trophy-winning spell at Moldovan club FC Sheriff Tiraspol.
Standing out as a physically imposing attacking option, Tejan can play in several positions, thanks to his physical stature and 72 senior goals. His professional journey began in the Dutch lower leagues with Quick Boys and Kozakken Boys, before he climbed the ranks to play in the Eerste Divisie for TOP Oss and the Eredivisie for SC Telstar. Subsequently, Tejan ventured abroad, gracing the fields of Moldova's top-flight side Sheriff, Polish side ŁKS Łódź, and Ligue 2 club USL Dunkerque.
His most noteworthy season came with Sheriff in 2022-23, where he played a pivotal role in helping the club clinch both the Moldovan Super Liga and Moldovan Cup titles. Tejan also had the opportunity to gain valuable experience in UEFA qualifying competitions.
Expressing his excitement about joining Selangor, Tejan emphasized the club's reputation as a strong and ambitious organization. He also shared that he had a productive conversation with the club's head coach Kim Pan Gon, discussing tactics and how to utilize his strengths effectively. Pan Gon's coaching style and vision align well with Tejan's aspirations, making him an attractive addition to the Red Giants' squad.
With his versatility and experience, Tejan could prove to be a valuable asset for Pan Gon as Selangor aims to build an attack capable of challenging on multiple fronts. For the signing, the primary objective is clear: to secure trophies and create an unforgettable season for Selangor FC's ardent supporters. Tejan himself is eager to play in front of his new fans, hoping to celebrate a successful campaign together.
