Former Renegades player Yaman "⁠yam⁠" Ergenekon has confirmed that he plans to further his career in Europe.

The 30-year-old will be relocating to the Old Continent next week as he looks to fulfill what has been a "dream" of his "for over 10 years."

yam has been on Tainted Minds' bench since September, when he and Callum "⁠BURNRUOk⁠" Henderson were replaced in the line-up by Simon "⁠Sico⁠" Williams and Mike "⁠ap0c⁠" Aliferis. At the time, the Oceanic organisation announced that yam had "expressed interest in relocating to Europe in order to continue to pursue his dream of competing at the highest level globally".

This will be his second stint abroad after previously competing in North America with Renegades, with whom he most notably attended the ESL One Cologne 2015 Major and the inaugural ELEAGUE season.

In a Twitlonger post, the Australian veteran added that he is "open to AWPing, rifling or in-game leading", three roles that he has had in the past.
