I want to thank especially the fans for your commitment to me and to the club throughout my time here.
I would like to let you know that I really appreciate every one of you and the support that you have given myself along with my teammates in the good times and the difficult.
With your support I am sure my teammates and the organisation will continue to fight for the community and to make you proud.
I know it is normally a sad moment whenever you have to say goodbye , so I will say see you later and sending love peace and positivity to all of you.
Take care ShigaLakestars！
