17-year-old midfielder Tauljant Sulejmanov has reached a multi-year agreement to join Swiss top division club Young Boys.

Tauljant Sulejmanov and his agents departed for Switzerland yesterday and today he signed his contract and was presented as the newest signing for Young Boys of the Swiss first division. Since Sulejmanov does not turn 18 years old until November of 2014, he is likely to remain with Rabotnichki on a 6 month loan and then move to Young Boys in January of 2015. A player must be at least 18 before moving to a foreign club, but many times an agreement is reached beforehand and then the player voes there once he fulfills the age requirement.

Sulejmanov scored 3 goals for Rabotnichki this season, helping the club win the league title. The Rabotnichki triumph ended Vardar’s run of two consecutive league crowns.

For the senior national team that was announced today by manager Boshko Gjurovski, Sulejmanov was included in the final 23 player squad for the friendlies against Cameroon and Qatar later this month. Sulejmanov has previously played for the various youth national teams of Macedonia, and is expected to debut for the senior squad in either the Cameroon or Qatar friendlies.
