Sturm Signs Frenchman - And Immediately Loans Him Out
An 18-year-old arrives from the AJ Auxerre youth academy and is set to gain match practice in the Regionalliga for the time being. Three other personnel matters are clarified.
Anis Mathruin joins the development setup of SK Sturm Graz.
The 18-year-old Frenchman moves from the AJ Auxerre youth academy to Austria's vice-champion, who immediately loans him to SC Kalsdorf in the Regionalliga Süd. There, the central midfielder is set to gain valuable match practice in senior football.
"With Anis, we gain a young central midfielder who has received excellent training in France. He brings footballing quality, game intelligence, and development potential," says Sporting Director Michael Parensen.
"For him, it's now important to regularly gain match practice in senior football. The loan to SC Kalsdorf offers him a good opportunity to develop step by step," Parensen added.
Three More Personnel Matters Clarified
Christoph Wiener-Pucher also remains with SK Sturm. The 19-year-old goalkeeper has played for the Black-Whites since his youth and will continue to strengthen the goalkeeper team of the second squad in the future.
With Safet Gracic, a young forward returns to Graz from the Akademie Salzburg. The 15-year-old had only left Sturm's youth academy for Salzburg last summer.
In addition, Tobias Gössler continues his development with the Blackies. The left-back will continue to be trained in the academy.
