NLA - What had already been announced by the Tribune de Genève is now confirmed. The 18-year-old forward Damien Riat has signed a three-year contract with the Grenats and, thus, returns from Sweden to Geneva.

"It's really great to return to my youth team," Riat is looking forward to this new experience. "Chris McSorley sets his trust in his young players and doesn't hesitate to let them play, as he has shown with Noah Rod and others this season."

This season, the native of Geneva has played for Malmö's U18, U20 and also their first team in the Allsvenskan. In 40 games for their U20, he put up 14 points (7 goals) and remained pointless in three games in Sweden's second-highest league. (tme)
