Rwan Cruz is returning to the place where he left a strong mark – Ludogorets. The Brazilian forward will once again wear the green jersey, as he joins the team on a one-year loan.

The managements of Ludogorets and Brazilian giants Botafogo have finalized negotiations regarding the loan of the attacking player, who is well familiar with the club environment and Bulgarian football.

In February last year, Ludogorets completed a record transfer after selling Rwan Cruz to Botafogo. With the Rio de Janeiro club, the forward took part in the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, after which he was loaned to American side Real Salt Lake.

During his previous spell at Ludogorets, Rwan played 84 matches, scoring 30 goals and providing 13 assists across all competitions.

“I’m coming back home. I’m happy to see my teammates again, the ones I played with a year ago. I’m happy to be at Ludogorets again,” said Rwan Cruz.
