Harry Novillo will join the reigning Super League champions when the mid-season transfer window opens in the middle of May.

Johor Darul Ta'zim finally let the cat out of the bag and have announced the latest addition to their squad once the second transfer window opens in the middle of May. Joining them in less than two months time is none other than Harry Novillo.

A former product of the youth system at Lyon, whose academy has produced many big names in current world football like Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette, Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, AS Roma's Maxime Gonalons, Bayern Munich's Corentin Tolisso and Barcelona's Samuel Umititi among others.

"The club would like to welcome Harry Novillo, formerly of Lyon and Melbourne City and currently playing in Dubai. He will be joining us when the transfer window opens."

"The club is delighted and happy to have a player of his calibre, a young and hungry player striving to achieve greatness, and wanting to be a part of the fastest growing, ambitious and determined club in South East Asia.

"Again, we would like to welcome Harry Novillo to the JDT family. Together we will make history," said Martin Prest in the statement released on JDT's facebook page.

After making only two appearances for Lyon in the senior team, Novillo career went from loan spells in France to signing for Belgium club, RAEC Mons back in 2013. His adventures has seen taken him to Melbourne City FC in Australia, Manisaspor in Turkey and to Baniyas SC in United Arab Emirates.

A forward who is most comfortable on the left hand side of a attacking triumvirate, Novillo looks to be the replacement for Jorge Pereyra Diaz, who left the club in a huff prior to a AFC Cup match in Vietnam.


Johor Darul Ta’zim announced that former Melbourne City star Harry Novillo will be joining them during the June transfer window.

Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) are set to boast a new attacking threat with the imminent arrival of forward Harry Novillo during the Malaysia Super League (MSL) second transfer window in June.

“I’m on fire, you’re on fire, put us together, how they going to stop us?” Novillo was quoted in a statement released by the Southern Tigers late Wednesday night.

The four-time MSL defending champions had on March 23 provided a sneak peek of Novillo’s arrival, posting a picture of Tunku Sultan Ismail with who was believed to be the new import with their backs to the camera.

The 26-year-old Frenchman is set to replace the departed Jorge Pereyra Diaz, who abruptly left the club in February, just before their AFC Cup group match against Song Lam Nge An.

“The club would like to welcome Harry Novillo, formerly of Lyon and Melbourne City and currently playing in Dubai. He will be joining us when the transfer window opens,” said JDT Sports Director Martin Prest.

SELAMAT DATANG KE KELUARGA JDT“Saya membara, anda membara, letakkan kami bersama, bagaimana mereka akan menghalang… Posted by JOHOR Southern Tigers on Wednesday, 28 March 2018

Based on videos of the winger cum forward, JDT will possess a player who oozes confidence in front of goal and is set to be a menace for the opposition backline in the league.

Technically adept and quick, Novillo looks to be a composed finisher and has scored a fairly decent amount of goals from outside the penalty box.

The former Lyon man also has a silky touch, and can be counted on from set-pieces.

Novillo is currently attached to United Arab Emirates club Baniyas Club, where he has netted 10 times in 13 appearances.

After representing France at the Under-17 and U19 levels, Novillo switched allegiance to Martinique, an overseas department of France with a population of no more than 385,000.

Novillo’s arrival will significantly boost JDT’s forward line which is currently made up of Luciano Fiegueroa, Ahmad Hazwan Bakri and Syafiq Ahmad.

The other imports in the team are Hariss Harun, Gonzalo Cabrera, Figueroa and Marcos Antonio.

The Southern Tigers will hope to stretch their two-point lead in the MSL when the Frenchman arrives.

After the international break, JDT have Cup games against Pahang (FA Cup) and Persija Jakarta (AFC Cup), before they face PKNS FC and Pahang, third and second respectively, in the league.

Harry Novillo adalah penyerang sayap. Beliau memiliki kepantasan dan gelecekan untuk menewaskan pertahanan. Beliau memang seorang pemain yang agak ‘fancy’ di dalam padang.
