Hilgers transfer off the table: defender will remain at Twente

Mees Hilgers will play for FC Twente for at least another six months. Ending recent rumours, a departure for the 24-year-old defender is definitely off the table, technical director Jan Streuer confirmed to TC Tubantia.

Hilgers clearly looked to move away from Enschede this summer and saw a move to Stade Brest fall through. His arrival was also briefly discussed at Go Ahead Eagles, according to RTV Oost. Ultimately, however, the right-footed defender will remain with FC Twente, Streuer confirms.

Itโ€™s reportedly still unclear whether Hilgers will extend his expiring contract with the Tukkers. He hasnโ€™t been included in the squad this season due to the aforementioned transfer issues. He may return to the squad for Saturdayโ€™s home match against NAC Breda. Another defender, Israeli Stav Lemkin, suffered an injury during the international break.
