Rezart Rama is set to return to Forge after a spell in Albania's top-flight. OneSoccer's Oliver Platt was first on the news.

The 24-year-old defender is expected to sign a 1-year loan from KF Egnatia after a lack of playtime there.

Rama is well-acquainted with Forge, having played for the Hammers during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, both of which culminated in league titles.

Initially signed as a center-back, he transitioned to the right-back position upon joining the Hamiltonians, where he solidified his role, amassing 54 appearances with 1 goal and 2 assists.

Rama quickly became a fan-favourite at the club with his aggressive style of play, becoming known for his hard tackles, though it also resulted in 19 yellow cards across his tenure.
