Jordy Simons steps up from the Fortuna Sittard academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jordy Simons has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Owen Stengs has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Yassin Oukili stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Yassin Oukili and Fortuna Sittard agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
In brief

- Squad Tempers go at Fortuna Sittard
- Boardroom No investment in the facilities at Fortuna Sittard
