Mattias Bjärsmyr, who came to Gothenburg for the first time in 2005, most recently comes from the Turkish Genclerbirligi.

- Comrade yard is like a second home to me. This is where I took my first real step as a football player. It feels exciting that I get the chance to come back to the club in my heart, ”he says to the club's website.

Bjärsmyr was without a contract and thus Gothenburg did not have to pay any transitional sum. It is IFK GBG Transferintressenter AB that finances the acquisition. IFK Gothenburg has previously recruited Jakob Johansson home.

- The contract is signed from now and year out with the option of one year's extension. Mattias becomes a useful addition. We have been looking for a center back and he is keen to show his qualities both on the pitch and off the pitch. Features we need in our squad build, says Sports Manager Kennet Andersson.
