Two players have signed with Cosne (National 3): a striker who came through the AJ Auxerre training center and a National 3 midfielder.
A striker and a central midfielder: Cosne is slowly but surely moving forward with his recruitment with the signings of Junior Ogondia (Le Plessis-Robinson/R1) and Esteban Canu (Saran/N3).
“Ogondia stayed with us at the end of the season,” explains Cosnois coach Vincent Bouchard. “He’s an attacker. He favors the lanes, but can play in the 9.” Having passed through Versailles and AC Boulogne-Billancourt, a club recognized for its training, the young striker, born in 2002, joined the AJ Auxerre training center in 2019. Without breaking through. “He was the victim of a rupture with the Crusaders and got back to health in an R1 club.”
The return of Thiombane?
The second recruit is from the same generation. An imperative for the club, as part of the CAP for football professions. Esteban Canu arrives from Saran, a Loiret club maintained sportingly in National 3, but relegated after the withdrawal of 9 points. “He’s left-handed, slender,” explains Vincent Bouchard. “A good profile in the heart of the game.”
premium National 3. Departures of Deheppe and Devilaine, players not retained, contacts: Cosne launched in the recruitment race
Two other contacts could be successful. The first leads to Alan Mondesir, striker or number 10 of Is-Selongey (N3). The second is a well-known name in Nièvre, since it is Pape Thiombane. The former captain of La Charité, licensed at Métropole Troyeenne (N3), is a guarantee of experience in offensive animation and ball conversation.
