Persis Solo Strengthens Defense with Ibrahim Sanjaya Signing and Arapenta's Return
Persis Solo has officially signed experienced full-back Ibrahim Sanjaya from Madura United to reinforce their defense ahead of the new season. His arrival fills the gap left by Rizky Dwi’s departure and brings added depth to the wing-back position. Ibrahim, who has played for several Indonesian clubs including Persip Pekalongan, Semen Padang, Persik, and PSS Sleman, featured in 19 matches last season with Madura United.

The 27-year-old defender expressed his excitement about joining a club with strong heritage and a passionate fan base. Ibrahim aims to contribute significantly under the guidance of new head coach Peter de Roo and is determined to deliver strong performances to help Persis Solo achieve its targets in the upcoming Liga 1 campaign.

In addition to Ibrahim’s arrival, Persis Solo has also welcomed back midfielder Arapenta Poerba, who spent the previous season with Dewa United. Arapenta had previously played for Persis for four consecutive seasons and now returns to familiar territory, expressing joy at being back with a team he considers home.

These moves reflect Persis Solo's commitment to building a competitive squad by blending new talent with familiar faces. With a clear focus on stability and progress, the club is gearing up to make a serious impact in the 2025 Liga 1 season, aiming for both consistency and strong fan engagement.
