Report: Desevio Payne inks deal with Excelsior

We reported back in March that American right-back Desevio Payne was leaving Eredivisie side Groningen because his deal wasn’t renewed and was free to leave the club. The 21-year-old South Carolina native’s career was up in the air. Would he head back to the US for a job in the MLS, England or 2. Bundesliga?

Well. according to Brian Sciaretta he’s staying in the Dutch first division.
