With new signing, the club will be playing at the second division level for the second time to refuel hopes of reaching the top.
Determined Player
Sandefjord’s Arne Dokken after Sunday’s signings has said on club’s website that Jaiteh will help balance the midfield, has a tremendous capacity for work and covers a lot of room.
“We get a classic player at best and a good Premier League class. In addition to that he is good with the ball, this is a solid gain for us,” says a satisfied Arne Dokken.
Jaiteh has previously been involved in some controversy towards former Norwegian club but Dokken is not afraid of this happening with new club.
“Tijan Jaiteh is very determined to be a team player both on and off the field. We have spent time talking about the requirements and expectations we have for our players, both on and off the field. We believe that we as a club can be good for Tijan; so he finds comfort and can take the rate of new and further development,” said Dokken.
