ZENO Ibsen Rossi says he is eager to "show what I am about" after completing a permanent move from Cherries to Cambridge United.
Having featured seven times for Cherries last season, the 21-year-old has now exited the club, penning a three-year contract with the League One U's.
Upon his arrival, centre-back Ibsen Rossi told the club's website: "I am excited.
“I have heard brilliant things about the club, about the people and about the city. I am really excited to embed myself into that.
“I am coming here to compete and nothing is given. I can’t wait to show what I am about and learn and develop with the other players and coaching staff.”
Cambridge boss Mark Bonner added: “Zeno is a prospect we are looking forward to working with and goes in line with our policy of signing players at a similar age in recent seasons, which we have seen the benefit of.
“He is in a brilliant age bracket for learning and his daily exposure to our way of working will only help him further improve as a player. He will be determined to play and find a way into the team - as will the other central defenders - and that competition will serve us well throughout the season.
“Zeno is comfortable in possession, has a good range of passing and has many physical qualities to become a strong defender with us.”
