Omonia 29is Maiou secures signing of Jérémie Bela
Angolan winger Jérémie Bela has found a new club, signing with Cypriot side Omonia 29is Maiou after departing from French Ligue 1 team Clermont Foot earlier this summer. The move, announced via the Cypriot club’s official Instagram account, comes after Bela spent several weeks as a free agent following the expiration of his contract on July 1, 2024.
The 31-year-old’s signing with Omonia marks the next chapter in a career that has seen him feature for a number of clubs across Europe, including RC Lens and Albacete, before his most recent stint at Clermont Foot.
Known for his versatility and pace on the left wing, Bela will now look to make an impact in the Cypriot first division.
Although the details of his contract have not been disclosed, the Angolan international, valued at €600,000 according to Transfermarkt, is expected to bring experience and skill to Omonia 29is Maiou’s squad.
His signing is part of the club’s effort to strengthen its team ahead of the new season in the highly competitive Cypriot league.
Bela’s last season at Clermont Foot was challenging, as he struggled for regular playing time. He made just 12 appearances, totaling 194 minutes of action in Ligue 1.
Despite limited opportunities on the pitch, Bela remains a player with notable experience, having previously played a key role for teams in both the French and Spanish leagues.
Omonia 29is Maiou will be hoping Bela can rediscover the form that once made him a standout player in Europe.
His speed, attacking prowess, and ability to create chances from wide areas could prove crucial as the club competes for success domestically.
This move to Cyprus presents a fresh start for Bela, who will be eager to contribute to Omonia’s ambitions in the league and beyond.
With the transfer now confirmed, all eyes will be on how the Angolan winger adapts to his new surroundings and what he can achieve in his latest challenge.
Bela’s arrival is seen as a positive step for Omonia, as the club looks to build a team capable of competing at the highest level in Cyprus.
Fans of the Cypriot side will no doubt be looking forward to seeing what the experienced winger can bring to the table as he embarks on this new chapter in his career.
