EXPERIENCED goalkeeper Jean Luc Ndayishimiye a.k.a Bakame has crossed over from 13-timeleague time winners APR FC to traditional rivals Rayon Sports on a two-year contract estimated to be around Rwf6 million.

Ndayishimiye penned the contract on Saturday night to complete a move that will see him feature for the Nyanza-based club until 2015.

Rayon Sports club chairman Abdallah Murenzi told Sunday Sports, "We have signed Ndayishimiye and we trust his experience and skills will help our team to win more trophies next season,”

Ndayishimiye lauded the move, saying, "I am a Rayon Sports player and I am here to help them win more trophies. I will do my best to ensure that I help them in the upcoming season such that my presence can help make the blues regular champions,”

Ndayishimiye, who has been at APR since 2009, leaves the club after helping them win different trophies, including three Primus League titles, three Peace Cup titles and one Cecafa Kagame Cup title in 2010.

The 25-year-old, who has won six caps for Amavubi, helped Atraco [defunct] win the Cecafa Kagame Cup in 2009 in Khartoum, Sudan.

Ndayishimiye will join other new signings who sealed their moves to the blues this week. They include Arafat Serugendo [Mukura], midfielder Djihad Bizimana [Etincelles] and Claude Rwaka [La Jeunesse].

The Primus League champions are also set to renew contracts for their players namely; skipper Aphrodis Hategekimana Kanombe and Burundian defender Karim Nizigiyimana ahead of their pre-season training set to kick off on August 1.
