Valletta FC
have announced the signing of Brazilian striker Taylon Nicolas.
The prolific forward has put pen to paper on a two-year contract and is expected to play a key role for the Citizens this season as they bid to wrest the league title from their neighbouring rivals Floriana.
At
Valletta, Taylon is expected to replace Montenegrin striker Bojan Kaljevic who
announced on Friday that he is leaving the capital club.
Taylon
doesn’t need any introduction to Maltese football as the speedy forward shone
during his spell at Hibernians during season 2018-19 season.
That year
he was a prolific scorer for the Paolites, netting 19 goals in 25 league appearance
to help his team mount a strong title challenge to the same Valletta.
In fact,
Hibernians went on to force an exciting league decider with Valletta but it was
the Citizens who came out on top after they prevailed in a penalty shoot-out.
After his
spell with Valletta, Taylon headed to Bulgaria to join Botev Plovdiv before
heading to the Middle East to join Al-Orooba of the United Arab Emirates before
returning home to Brazilian side Criciuma EC.
