PSIM Yogyakarta Complete Attack with Costa Rican Winger Marvin Loria

PSIM Yogyakarta have strengthened their attacking options ahead of the 2026/27 Super League season by signing Costa Rican winger Marvin Antonio Loria Leiton. The 29-year-old became the club's latest foreign addition on Saturday, August 8, as Laskar Mataram look to build a more competitive squad before the new campaign begins.

Loria's arrival also marks the end of PSIM's transfer activity for the opening phase of the season. The club believe their squad structure is now complete and have shifted their attention toward preparing for the opening league fixture on September 4. His signing is expected to provide greater depth and variation in the attacking department.

The Costa Rican brings valuable experience from competitions in both Costa Rica and the United States. He has also previously been part of Benfica B in Portugal, giving him exposure to a different style of football. PSIM hope that his international background can add a new dimension to their attacking play, particularly through the wide areas where greater speed and creativity are expected.

Born on April 24, 1997, Loria is capable of operating in several attacking positions. His versatility allows him to adapt to different tactical approaches and could give head coach Jean Paul van Gastel more options when shaping the team's offensive system. His ability to move between positions is expected to make PSIM less predictable in the final third.

With Loria completing their recruitment plans, PSIM can now concentrate fully on building team chemistry and refining their tactics before the Super League gets underway. The club are hoping his experience, flexibility and attacking qualities will help create a more balanced and dangerous forward line as they prepare for the challenges of the 2026/27 season.
