Rapid Vienna signs central defender Marcelin

SK Rapid has made a move in the transfer market and signed the towering Jean Harrison Marcelin as a new central defender. The 1.98 m tall Frenchman, who also holds the citizenship of Madagascar, transferred from Beitar Jerusalem from the top Israeli league to Austria and joined the Vienna training camp in Freistadt directly. According to Rapid, he signed a contract until the end of the 2027/28 season.

Marcelin joins Rapid

"I am very happy that the transfer went through so quickly and I am glad that I can immediately get to know my new teammates and coaches at the training camp," said Marcelin, who received his football education at AJ Auxerre. Rapid's Managing Director of Sport Markus Katzer described the new addition as a similar type of player "like our proven regular Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao." With Marcelin, who is called "Ari," a departure of Raux-Yao could thus be compensated.
