Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan teenager Irvyn Lomami has been roped into the Olympique Lyon senior team for next season.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old signed a new three-year contract with the French Ligue 1 giants last month and has impressed manager Peter Bosz during pre-season, something that saw his promotion in the first team squad.<\/p>\n

The talented youngster plays as a right-back and was one of the outstanding players in the Lyon second team last season where he made 18 league appearances as the team finished 10th in the Championat B.<\/p>\n

The progression of Lomami has been very swift as it was last year that he was promoted from the Lyon U-19 to the Team B where he made a great impact.<\/p>\n

Lomami was born in France to Rwandan parents and is eligible to play for both countries ALthough he is yet to be capped at any level.<\/p>\n
