Yokohama F. Marinos over the weekend announced the signing of former Japan international Takahiro Ogihara.

The 25-year-old, who represented his country at the 2012 London Olympics, made two appearances for Nagoya Grampus last season after a mid-summer transfer from Cerezo Osaka.

“It’s an honour to join Yokohama F. Marinos, one of the J.League’s ‘Original 10’ founding members,” Ogihara commented.

“I want to demonstrate my talents and do justice to the club’s history. I hope I will have everyone’s support.”
