Kalmar strengthen team

2008 Allsvenskan winners Kalmar have raided Ljungskile for Daryl Smylie. The Northern Ireland man had been on Kalmar's wanted list as soon as the season ended.
Smylie suffered relegation with Ljungskile last month when they lost to IF Brommapojkarna in the play-off. Ljungskile were reluctant to sell but it was clear that a player of his class should remain in the Allsvenskan.

Daryl Smylie:
Daryl Smylie is a Northern Ireland international and previously played with Newcastle in England. A move to Livingston in Scotland followed and he left Livingston in 2007 to join Ostersund in the Swedish Division 1. He impressed while at the club and Ljungskile signed him and had an impressive season in 2008 despite relegation. Smylie joins Kalmar with the task of replacing Viktor Elm who has joined Heerenveen in Holland.
