Sandy Walsh finds smooth adaptation at Persib Bandung

New Persib Bandung wing-back Sandy Walsh has reported that his adaptation to the club is proceeding without significant obstacles. The 31-year-old player expressed confidence that everything is going smoothly as the 2026/2027 season approaches.

Walsh explained that his integration has been seamless because he already knows more than half of the Persib Bandung squad. This familiarity provides a strong foundation for him to quickly gel with coach Igor Tolic's team. He highlighted that several of his Indonesian national teammates, including Thom Haye, Marc Klok, Beckham Putra Nugraha, and Eliano Reijnders, are now his club colleagues.

Beyond his national team connections, Walsh is also acquainted with other players through previous competitions in Indonesia and Thailand. He mentioned knowing Gakuto Notsuda and Gabi Mutombo from the Thai League and having watched Persib Bandung's matches last season. Walsh joined the team's training camp in Bali recently and has now participated in full training sessions.

"It's a great feeling to be here, in Bandung, on the training field, and it's nice to be on the pitch with the other players for the first time," Walsh said. He added that after their time in Bali, it feels good to be back training. Walsh's arrival is seen as a crucial addition to Persib Bandung as they prepare for the upcoming 2026/2027 season.
