FC Pyunik have announced the signing of central defender Erik Simonyan. The 23-year-old footballer is a product of Urartu’s academy. Simonyan made 45 appearances for the Yerevan club’s first team and scored 3 goals.
In March 2021, at the age of 17, Erik Simonyan received his first call-up to the Armenian national team. However, the defender has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
Simonyan also played for the Armenia U21 national team and served as the team’s captain. In total, he made 14 appearances for Armenia’s youth team.
Pyunik continue to strengthen their squad with Armenian players. Earlier, the Yerevan club also signed midfielder Hovhannes Harutyunyan, who joined from Noah.
As a reminder, Artak Oseyan’s team will compete in the first qualifying round of the Conference League in the new season.
