Adam Hiljemark comes home
The shirt still fits. Adam Hiljemark is back at Gefle, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Daniel Claesson comes home
The shirt still fits. Daniel Claesson is back at Gefle, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Dejan Svanberg is a Gefle player again

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Patrik Ibrahimovic is a Gefle player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Hugo Komano gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Isak Edman stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Isak Edman and Gefle agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
In brief
