Rwanda U23 centre back Dylan Georges Maes has signed for Latvian topflight side FS Jelgava on a one-year contract.

Maes, 22, completed his move to Jelgava on Monday, March 4, as a free agent after his short-term contract with Slovenian outfit NK Tolmin expired in January.

The 190cm central defender says he is pleased with the deal and vowed to give his maximum best for his new club.

"I’m very happy to have joined FS Jelgava. I am looking forward to performing as best as possible in the league and hopefully I can make my senior international debut for Rwanda," Maes told Times Sport.
