Persipura Jayapura Revamps Squad with 12 New Signings, Many from PSBS Biak

Persipura Jayapura has announced the addition of 12 new players ahead of the Liga 2 2025-26 season, significantly shaping the team’s lineup. Interestingly, half of these newcomers previously played for PSBS Biak during the 2024-2025 Liga 1 season, bringing a PSBS influence to the squad. The fresh recruits cover various positions, from goalkeeper to attacker, aiming to strengthen the team’s overall balance.
Several of these players are not new faces to Persipura, having had prior stints with the club before moving to PSBS Biak. Names like Todd RivaldoFerre and John Pigai have history with Persipura, creating a blend of familiarity and fresh energy within the squad. This connection is partly influenced by Owen Rahadian, who holds a leadership role in both clubs, serving as Persipura’s team manager and having ties with PSBS Biak.
The club’s chairman has entrusted Rahadian and head coach Ricardo Salampessy with the responsibility of preparing the team for the challenges ahead. Emphasis has been placed on developing young local talents to ensure depth and future potential, with some promising youth players integrated into the squad plans. The club also hinted at ongoing talks to finalize foreign player signings, which will be announced once confirmed.
Persipura’s management is optimistic that the new composition will deliver strong performances in Liga 2 and help the team regain competitive stature. The strategic recruitment and focus on blending experienced and young players aim to bring stability and ambition as they embark on a fresh campaign under familiar leadership.
