Feyenoord announced today that the main keeper Gábor Babos has agreed to join NEC in a one-season deal.

The goalie had a disappointing season at De Kuip after his arrival from NAC Breda. The Hungarian was Ruud Guillet's first choice but after some poor displays, he was edged aside by Patrick Lodewijks on more than one occasion this season.

This loan move paved the way for Egyptian Sherif Ekramy to join Feyenoord’s first-team squad as he will not be farmed out to Excelsior as it was originally decided.
