Former Serie A defender sees Fortuna Sittard contract terminated with immediate effect | OneFootball

Mitchell Dijks is leaving Fortuna Sittard. The Limburg club announced the player’s contract termination through official channels. The 32-year-old left-back’s contract initially ran until next summer.

This now allows Dijks to search for a new employer on a free transfer. Speaking of his exit, the defender said, “I had a wonderful time at Fortuna and have always played for this club with pride.

“In Sittard, I had the opportunity to rediscover my passion for the game, and I succeeded, thanks in part to the fans. I always felt incredibly valued and want to thank everyone for these fantastic years.”

Technical director Américo Branco also addressed the left-footer’s departure. “It’s been a pleasure working with Mitchell over the past two years. We’ve had several conversations recently.”

“Mitchell indicated he would like to embark on one more new adventure. He has always fully committed to the club during his time at Fortuna. That’s why we are happy to support him in this step.”

Dijks has played for the Limburg club since the summer of 2023, after joining on a free transfer from Vitesse. This followed a four-year stint with Bologna in Italy. The Purmerend-born left-footer made 61 appearances for Fortuna Sittard.
