#PLStories- Brighton defender Leo Ostigard joins Andriy Shevchenko‘s Genoa on loan #BHAFC

January 6, 2022
DEFENDER Leo Ostigard has been recalled from his spell with Stoke City and is moving to Serie A side Genoa on loan for the rest of the season. The 22-year-old made 13 Championship appearances for the Potters, scoring once in a 3-1 victory at Swansea City. Albion's pathway development manager David Weir said: “Leo has made excellent progress during his loan spells in the second tier in Germany and here in the Championship, with Coventry and Stoke, but this gives him the chance to play at the top level. “It is an excellent opportunity to play in the top division of Italian football, against some of Europe's top teams, and we will be monitoring his progress out in Italy.” Ostigard signed for Albion from Molde in 2018, before spending the 2019/20 campaign on loan with German second division side St Pauli. That was followed by a successful 2020/21 campaign with Coventry City, where he helped Mark Robins’ side maintain their Championship status having returned to the second tier after an eight-year absence.

The last time he played at the bet365 stadium he was on the winning side as he picked up an assist for Coventry in their 3-2 win over the Potters in April, with former Albion striker Viktor Gyokeres scoring the winner. Stoke boss Michael O’Neill was delighted to have signed Ostigard.  He said: “Leo is keen to develop and improve by playing first-team football and we are delighted to have secured his services because he was attracting a great deal of interest after doing so well for Coventry. “His arrival strengthens our defensive resources and I’ve no doubts he will be a key addition to our squad.”
