Aditya Jaya steps up from the Persijap academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Aditya Jaya 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.

Fachri Saddil steps up from the Persijap academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Fachri Saddil 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.
