Terengganu sign fiery French striker
KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu today unveiled their newest weapon for the 2025-2026 M-League season — the French-born striker Yann Kevin Mabella.
The 29-year-old is fresh off a red-hot season with Racing FC Union Luxembourg, where he netted 22 goals in 29 appearances.
The 1.83m Mabella, who has signed a one-year deal with the Turtles, said: "I think my style of play is about intensity and energy. I bring a lot of speed, I make runs, I spin, I defend when needed."
Mabella, whose birthday is Feb 22, will wear the No. 11 jersey for Terengganu. "My birthday is on the 22nd, but that number isn't available, so I'll go with 11, two times 11 is 22," quipped Mabella who has also represented Congo, including in Africa Cup qualifiers.
