Tanjong Pagar United F.C. is pleased to announce the signing of French attacking midfielder Sébastien Etiemblé.

Etiemblé will be the latest and final addition to the squad’s foreign players roster.

At 27 years old, Etiemblé had previously turned out for AFC Compeigne from 2011 to 2012, and played for Vallee when he was coaching there. Etiemble was in the same squad with Jaguars custodian Aurélien Hérisson and the highest profile match they played as the French Cup game against Lille OSC which featured Eden Hazard and Joe Cole at that season.

Etiemblé will be wearing the number 6 jersey for the 2014 season and it will be Etiemble’s first venture outside of France

“I am very happy to sign for Tanjong Pagar United. It is a new challenge in a new country and new league so I am looking forward to find out the difference in culture and also work hard to adapt to Singapore,” Etiemblé told tpufc.org.

“I have followed the S.League for a while because I know some players here and especially coach Patrick Vallee. Now that I am here I will give my best.”

“He is a coach I know well. I like his playing philosophy and how he wants the team to play. Vallee is a coach I like working with and he is one of the reasons I come to Singapore. And most importantly I will give my best and give something for TPUFC,” said Etiemblé.

Tanjong Pagar United welcomes him to the Club!
