Yan Valery, new defensive reinforcement for Young Boys

The 26-year-old defender joins the Swiss side on loan until the end of the season, with no purchase option included.

In a statement released on its official Facebook page, the Bernese club announced: “BSC Young Boys is pleased to announce the signing of Tunisian international Yan Valery. An agreement has been reached with Sheffield Wednesday for a loan until the end of the season, with no option to buy.”

The club also highlighted the player’s experience, as Valery already boasts 20 caps for the Tunisian national team. He took part in recent training camps in December and January and is aiming to feature at the upcoming World Cup set to take place next summer in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

A dual French-Tunisian national, Yan Valery grew up in the Paris region. He was developed at Stade Rennais before continuing his football education at Southampton, where he launched his professional career.

His journey speaks volumes about his top-level experience: 43 appearances in the Premier League, 69 in the Championship, 30 in Ligue 1, and 35 in Ligue 2.

Throughout his career, he has worn the shirts of Southampton, Birmingham City, Angers, and most recently Sheffield Wednesday, who are currently struggling at the bottom of the table after a points deduction for financial irregularities.

Currently sitting sixth in the Swiss Super League, Young Boys are banking on the experience of the “Carthage Eagles” defender to shore up their back line in the second half of the season.
