Saidy Janko (born 22 October 1995) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays for BSC Young Boys on loan from FC Porto. Although Janko primarily recognised as a right-back, he is equally capable of playing on the right wing.
Janko began his career with FC Zürich before signing for Manchester United in 2013. After a loan spell with Bolton Wanderers, Janko moved to Scottish club Celtic in 2015. He spent the 2016–17 season on loan to Barnsley before moving to Saint-Étienne permanently in July 2017. He has played international football for Switzerland up to under-21 level.
Club career
Manchester United
Born in Zürich to a Gambian father and Swiss-Italian mother, Janko began his career at FC Zürich.[3] He joined Manchester United on summer transfer deadline day in 2013.[4] He was one of only three signings made by David Moyes during the 2013 summer transfer window. In his first season, he was voted the Reserve Player of the Year.[5] On 26 August 2014, he made his first-team debut in a League Cup match against Milton Keynes Dons, playing the first half before being substituted for fellow debutant Andreas Pereira as United lost 4–0.[6]
On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Janko joined Championship club Bolton Wanderers on loan for the rest of the season, with Andy Kellett going in the opposite direction for the same period.[7] He made his debut for the club on 10 February, starting in a 3–1 league win over Fulham at the Macron Stadium. He crossed to assist Eiður Guðjohnsen's equaliser before half time, before scoring himself in the 80th minute from 25 yards out.[8]
Celtic
On 1 July 2015, Celtic announced that they had signed Janko on a four-year contract.[9] He made his debut nine days later, coming on as a substitute for Gary Mackay-Steven 75 minutes into Celtic's 1–0 win over Real Sociedad in a pre-season friendly at St. Mirren Park.[10] Janko made his competitive debut on 1 August, coming on as a second-half substitute during Celtic's 2–0 win over Ross County in the opening league match of the Scottish Premiership season.[11][12]
On 31 August 2016, Janko joined Championship club Barnsley on a one-year loan deal.[13] He scored on his debut in a 4–0 away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 13 September.[14]
Saint-Étienne
On 7 July 2017, Janko left Celtic for French Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne, signing a four-year contract.[15]
Porto
Janko moved to Portuguese club FC Porto on a five-year contract on 17 June 2018.[16] He returned to the EFL Championship on 31 August that year, joining Nottingham Forest on loan for the 2018–19 season.[17]
On 1 July 2019, Janko entered football in his native country for the first time in his career, being loaned to Young Boys for the Swiss Super League season.[18] He scored his first goal on 14 September in the second round of the Swiss Cup, in an 11–2 win at fifth-tier FC Freienbach.[19]
