- It's great fun to be back. We have been working on this for a long time and I have been open to the fact that if I am going back to Sweden it has always been IFK I wanted to come to. I am incredibly happy and tagged in getting started and getting to meet all the old friends again, ”Eric Smith told the club's website.
The loan extends over the season.
"Given signals"At the same time, IFK Norrköping announces that Ian Smith is leaving the club. In January 2018, Ian Smith joined the All Sweden club from Santos in Costa Rica. There were 37 matches.
- Ian has for a long time given signals that he is longing for home. We have jointly made many attempts to find a way back to form 2018, but given Ian's strong will to come home, we feel we have to accept it and it is quite okay to do this right now, ”says Jens Gustafsson.
Ian Smith:
- I want to thank the supporters for all the support I received during these years in Norrköping. I will always be grateful for the time and all the people in Norrköping, says Ian.
