Tunisian international Yan Valery impresses after winter move

Yan Valery announced himself in style at BSC Young Boys, delivering two assists in a 6-1 victory over FC Winterthur in his first start for the club.

The Tunisian right-back, who joined on loan from Sheffield Wednesday on 9 February 2026, wasted little time in adapting to his new surroundings.

Handed a starting role just days after his arrival, Valery quickly integrated into the Swiss champions’ system and played a decisive part in Saturday’s emphatic win.

In the 53rd minute, he provided his first assist to put Young Boys ahead, before repeating the contribution two minutes later as his side extended their advantage with a third goal.

The back-to-back assists underlined his attacking intent and composure, highlighting his ability to influence proceedings from the right flank.

Valery’s early impact represents a sharp contrast to his recent spell in England. Prior to his move, he featured in 23 Championship matches for Sheffield Wednesday, registering one assist.

In Switzerland, however, he has already matched that tally twice over in just three Super League appearances.

Signed during the winter transfer window, Valery appears to have quickly found his rhythm in Bern.

His forward runs and precise deliveries have added a new dimension to Young Boys’ attacking play, offering width and creativity from defence.

The 6-1 victory provided the perfect backdrop for his first start, and his immediate contribution suggests the loan move could prove beneficial for both player and club.

With two assists already to his name, Valery has made a strong case for himself as a valuable addition to the Young Boys squad.
