The 42-year-old tactician expressed satisfaction at the arrival of three new players, and revealed that his side is responding impressively as a unit in the training camp in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/New-Zealand-c754.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mark-Looms-c24132 and Thilo Leugers, at Rat Verlegh Stadion this summer.
Hadouir, who started his professional career at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Willem-II-c40945 Tilburg in the 2002/03 season, joined the Rats after making 11 league appearances for Alemannia Aachen during his one-year stay at New Tivoli.
Looms, who had been plying his trade at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heracles-Almelo-c39520 since the summer of 2000, wanted to move away from Polman Stadion before the start of the 2012/13 season for greener pastures, and NAC were quick to acquire his services on a free transfer.
Leuger started his professional career at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede in the 2010/11 season. Although, he failed to feature regularly for the Tukkers, the Rats saw him as a perfect addition to their squad, and managed to lure him to Rat Verlegh Stadion on a season-long
loan deal.
The NAC boss was unable to hide his happiness, and revealed that every signing will prove to be beneficial for the team in the 2012/13 campaign.
“I am extremely delighted that Hadouir has chosen NAC. He will prove to be an extremely good signing”, Karelse was quoted as saying to the club’s official website.
The Dutch mentor went on to express his delight at Looms’ decision to join the Yellow Army, and revealed that his 12 years of experience playing in the Dutch top flight will certainly benefit his side in the upcoming season.
“I was not hesitant to bring him to Rat Verlegh Stadion, as he has been plying his trade in the Dutch top flight for the past twelve years”, Karelse added.
NAC are currently holding pre-season training camp in New Zealand, and the Dutch trainer is also pleased with his side’s efforts.
“The team has proved many a times during the training sessions that they can perform impressively as a unit. For me, it was very nice to see that all the players are gelling together”, Karelse concluded.
The Rats finished 13th on the Eredivisie table in the 2011/12 season, but are aiming for a top-half table finish in the upcoming campaign.
