Alagie Saine, captain of Gambia U-20 team, has signed a four year contract with Danish AC Horsens.

Saine was until recently on loan with the Danish club from Falcons in The Gambia first division league. 

The talented defender captained the Young Scorpions to a second place finish at the Afcon U-20 earlier this year and also a last 16 berth at the ongoing FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.

Saine is expected to travel back to Denmark at the end of the month to start preparations for the upcoming season.

“I thank AC Horsens for trusting me. All I could do now is to continue working hard to help the team achieve our planned objectives,” Saine said. 

Falcons coach Lamin Sanneh added: “It’s a proud moment for me as a person; at club level, it speaks volumes of the collective work we do with our players.

“Alagie has been under my guidance since coming from provincial Gambia [Farafenni]. He is more than a player to me, but a little brother and I’ll go the extra mile to see him succeed In football. So this step is a monumental one and I am over the moon.”
