Omonia Nicosia signs defender Jean-Kevin Duverne

French media, including Ouest-France, reported on August 7, 2026, that Omonia Nicosia has secured the transfer of 29-year-old Haitian defender Jean-Kevin Duverne. The player, who was under contract with FC Nantes until next summer, is set to permanently move to the Cypriot club. Reports state he is joining Omonia to continue his career, though sources offer slight variations on whether he departs as a free agent or via a permanent transfer agreement.

Duverne joined Nantes in the summer of 2023 and has since spent time on loan in Belgium with KV Kortrijk, from January to June 2025, and with KAA Gent for the entirety of the 2025-2026 season. A versatile defender, Duverne is capable of playing across the defensive line, including as a center-back, full-back, and on the right flank, a position where he notably contributed an assist during the 2026 World Cup while representing Haiti against Morocco.

Following these developments, the player is expected to finalize his transition to the Cypriot first-division side. No further details regarding the length of his contract or the official unveiling have been confirmed by the club as of now.
