Würzburg (dpa / lby) - The second division soccer team Würzburger Kickers has committed the attacker Stefan Maierhofer.

The bottom of the table confirmed the change of the 38-year-old from the Austrian Bundesliga bottom Admira Wacker on Monday.

Both clubs are supported by the same sponsor (Flyeralarm).

For the Austrian Maierhofer, Würzburg is already the 19th station as a professional soccer player and the sixth in Germany after FC Bayern, TuS Koblenz, SpVgg Fürth, MSV Duisburg and 1. FC Köln.

The 19-time Austrian national player should help prevent the relegation of the promoted team.

“It is certainly not an easy task, but we want to roll up the field from behind.

The opportunity to play again in the 2nd Bundesliga appealed to me, ”said the two-meter-tall striker in a statement from Kickers.

"I know about my tasks and my position, which I will fulfill 100 percent for the club and for the team."

Maierhofer brings "size in standard situations or force in the attack center", as Kickers sports director Sebastian Schuppan emphasized.

The newcomer would have lacked these properties so far.

«Stefan is just a guy with a very positive attitude.

That's exactly what we need in our current situation, "said coach Bernhard Trares:" He'll definitely help us. "

With just four points from twelve games, the Kickers are already seven points behind relegation place 16. In the first game of the new year they will receive Karlsruher SC next Saturday.
