Albirex Niigata have announced that midfielder Yushin Otake has joined Balestier Khalsa FC of Singapore on loan. The loan deal runs from 10 July 2026 to 9 June 2027.
Otake has been with Niigata since 2024 but has yet to make an appearance in the MEIJI YASUDA J2 LEAGUE this season.
Following the announcement, Otake commented:
"I'm sorry it's taken so long to share this news with everyone. It's been about a month since I arrived in Singapore. I want to use this move as an opportunity for more people to get to know me as a footballer. I also want to grow so much here that all our supporters can proudly say, 'Yushin Otake is a Niigata player.' Even though I'm far away, I'd be happy if you could keep an eye on how I'm doing. Thank you!!"
