After joining the training sessions of Celje, Juanjo Nieto has today officially become a new member of the club. The 29-year-old joined the team in the knežje city primarily due to the opinion of Albert Riera, who believes that he has an abundance of wingers but lacks full-backs.

The Spanish full-back, who arrived at the current national champions as a free agent, will be trying his hand abroad for the first time, having previously played only in his home country. There, he wore the jerseys of Castellón, Real Valladolid, Mallorca, Hércules, Real Oviedo, Almería, and most recently Huesca. Nieto can boast of 122 appearances in the second Spanish division and over 100 appearances in the third-tier competition, though he never played in the Spanish top flight, despite helping Almería achieve promotion to La Liga.
The agreement is set to last until the end of next season.
