TSV Hartberg signs Simon Freund!
The son of Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund joins from regional league club SV Seekirchen. He signs a two-year contract.
The 21-year-old is "very grateful for the chance to take the next step in my career at TSV Hartberg. The move from the regional league to the Bundesliga is a big challenge for me and at the same time a huge motivation," Freund is quoted as saying.
"Has all the qualities"
