The Indonesian national team defender, Yanto Basna, has officially parted ways with the Thai club, PT Prachuap FC. This news was announced through the club’s Instagram post on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. “It’s been a pleasure meeting you, Rudolph Yanto Basna and Chakkit Laptrakul,” Prachuap FC wrote. “We wish you both success in the future. Thank you for everything. Everyone at PT Prachuap FC wishes the best for all departing players.”
Yanto Basna joined PT Prachuap in January 2024 on a six-month contract, as reported by Transfermarkt. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old defender only played in one match in the Thai League, totaling 23 minutes of playing time. Most of his time was spent on the bench.
Before returning to PT Prachuap, Yanto Basna played for Indonesian clubs such as Kalteng Putra and Bhayangkara FC. He also has experience playing in Thailand with Khon Kaen FC in 2018 and Sukhothai FC. This is not Yanto Basna’s first stint with PT Prachuap, as he previously played for the club between 2020 and 2022.
However, with limited playing time at PT Prachuap, many are wondering, “What’s next?” Will Yanto Basna return to Liga 1 Indonesia, or will he continue his career abroad?
Yanto Basna, with his extensive experience in various clubs in Indonesia and Thailand, still holds great value and potential as a defender. His ability to adapt to different leagues demonstrates his flexibility and professionalism as a player.
For clubs in Liga 1 Indonesia, Yanto Basna’s presence could be a significant addition to their defensive line. His experience playing abroad could bring positive impacts to teams looking to strengthen their defense. However, the option to continue playing overseas remains open, given his considerable experience in Southeast Asia.
Yanto Basna is now at a career crossroads. Whatever decision he makes, whether returning to Liga 1 Indonesia or continuing to play abroad, Indonesian football fans will undoubtedly support and wish him the best. Yanto Basna’s career journey is still long, and we all look forward to his next move.
