Confirmed! Moritz Oswald leaves Rapid on loan

Moritz Oswald moves on loan from SK Rapid to WSG Tirol!

As reported on Monday, the current ADMIRAL Bundesliga league leaders are loaning out the midfielder within the league. This time, he's heading to WSG in Tirol.

Last season, the 24-year-old played for SCR Altach and made 20 competitive appearances.

No Chance Under Hoff Thorup

Under Johannes Hoff Thorup, he had no chance for regular playing time. This season, Oswald was only named to the squad twice in SK Rapid's nine matches. He only saw eight minutes of action in the first cup round against Wienerberg.

Oswald comes from the Rapid academy and had already played for the Hütteldorfer youth team as a ten-year-old.

"We Will Keep an Eye on Him"

Rapid's Sporting Director Markus Katzer on the departure: "It's important for him to gain as much match practice as possible, and that's why we jointly decided on this loan. At WSG Tirol, he can continue to gain experience in the top flight in a professional and calm environment, and we will continue to keep an eye on him throughout the current season."

WSG Tirol's Sports Manager is convinced by the new signing: "With Moritz Oswald, we gain a player who, despite his young age, already brings immense experience at a high level – almost 100 competitive appearances for Rapid Wien speak for themselves. Moritz can help us in multiple positions and adds extra quality and stability to our squad."

The player expresses his delight and is pleased with the family-like atmosphere in Tirol: "WSG is exactly the right step for me to develop both athletically and personally. The entire environment is very family-like and welcoming – I've truly been welcomed wonderfully in the last few hours."
