HBC Nantes has three injuries in total on the playmaker position. Rapid action is required on the player market and O´Brian Nyateu arrives on a short-term contract, according to the club webpage.
Effectively, Nyateu shifts from US Dunkerque in the role of a medical joker. The 32-year-old developed in Nantes during the junior years and he stayed for the first years of professional handball.
The current move offers light in the tunnel for the injury-ridden squad.
– While the successive injuries at half-center are a blow at a key moment in the season, they must in no way slow down our ambitions, says the club president Gael Pelletier.
– O’Brian is reunited with a coach with whom he grew up, a team that he will know how to strengthen, and above all a club whose values of combativeness and solidarity he still deeply upholds. His experience and commitment will be major assets to help us meet the challenges that await us until the end of the season, Pelletier continues to the club webpage.
Nyateu joins Nantes right in time for Champions League matchup against Aalborg HB Wednesday evening.
