J-League club Sanfrecce Hiroshima have acquired striker Tadanari Lee from rivals Kashiwa Reysol.

The 23-year old has signed a deal that will see him remain in Hiroshima until January 2011.

"I had a very hard time making this decision at a time when Kashiwa are struggling near the bottom of the standings," Lee said.

"My decision is aimed at becoming a better player."

Lee scored 10 goals in 30 league matches for Kashiwa in 2007, the year he changed his nationality from South Korean to Japanese.
