Bangladesh origin footballer Zidan Miah on social media Saturday confirmed his signing with Spanish top-flight club Rayo Vallecano, before going on to thank the Bangladesh fans for their relentless support over the years.
Zidan Miah became the first footballer of Bangladesh descent to join a La Liga club after impressing the Vallecano hierarchy in a two-month trial for Madrid Resident Academy.
Zidan Miah, a Moulvibazar native born in London, said, "I’m very proud to announce that I have signed with Rayo Vallecano FC for the 2021/2022 season. I would like to thank the club for giving me this opportunity and for believing in me. To my coaches and mentors, current and over the years, a very big thank you for all your support, time and love.
"I would also like to thank my family for all they have sacrificed over the years, without them I wouldn’t be where or who I am today.
"Lastly I would like to thank those who have followed my journey through social media, especially those in my country of origin, Bangladesh. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed, thank you for all the love you have shown me. The hard work starts now! Big 2021/2022 season incoming..."
