11/26/2010: Dutch Lions Fan Favorite & Top Performer Oscar Moens Signs On With Sparta Rotterdam

According to multiple Dutch reports, 37 year old former Dutch Lions keeper Oscar Moens will takeover as goalkeeper immediately in replacement of Andre Krul for Sparta Rotterdam. Moens has been signed on for the remainder of the Erstedivise (Dutch Second Division) season that runs until May.

It is hoped that Moens can bring some stability in the nets of Sparta, who have been struggling with Krul in their goal. Sparta Rotterdam are hoping that some stability in the back can help return the club to the Dutch Premier Division as well; As Sparta were relegated from the Dutch Premier Division after returning last season.

Dayton Dutch Lion fans will probably have a mixed reaction to the news; As ownership and fans concurred that Moens was one player that they would definitely like to have back for the USL-Pro season. However, the deal for Moens is only until May, so hopefully the keeper will return to the Dutch Lions after his spell with Sparta Rotterdam. Further good news is that Moens will be fit and in form if he decides to return after his Dutch season.
