■Comment from Player Koizumi
"I will be making a permanent transfer to Mito HollyHock. I spent 10 years at Antlers, since junior youth, which is about half of my life, and I am grateful for everything. I am delighted to have played in the best environment and with the best team. It is a wonderful club that has helped me grow not only as a footballer but also as a person. I believe that the best way to repay them would be to play and perform well for this club, but to continue to perform well for the best team in Japan, I must also become the best player in Japan.
I will not forget my gratitude to everyone who has supported me, and I will fight with all my might in Mito to achieve promotion to J1 so that we can play on the same stage, and to become a player that Kashima will want back! Kashima and Mito are close, so please come and watch Mito's matches. Thank you very much for everything!"
