St. Gallen announce passing away of defender Yrondu Musavu-King
Swiss club St. Gallen has announced the tragic passing of their former defender, Yrondu Musavu-King, who died on Friday at the age of just 34. The former Gabon international spent the 2017/18 season with the Swiss Super League side, making 17 official appearances in the club’s traditional green and white colours.
Expressing their deep sorrow on social media, St. Gallen released a statement saying: “St. Gallen mourns the loss of its former player Yrondu Musavu-King… Our thoughts are with his family, relatives and all those close to him. We wish them strength in this difficult time.”
Born in Libreville, the centre-back enjoyed a well-traveled career across Europe’s top leagues. He first rose through the ranks at French side Caen before earning moves to Spanish outfit Granada and Italian Serie A club Udinese, alongside spells at several other teams across the continent.
