Bundesliga club Hamburg have officially announced the signing of Super Eagles defender Jordan Torunarigha on a free transfer after the player ended his contract with Belgian Pro League outfit KAA Gent.
The move marks a return to German football for the Nigerian international, who previously spent five years with Hertha Berlin before his switch to Belgium.
Torunarigha Excited About Hamburg Challenge
Speaking about his transfer, Torunarigha expressed enthusiasm about joining the newly-promoted side: "I can hardly wait to get to know my teammates, the coaching staff, the staff, the fans, and the city, and to use all my strengths and experience to help us have a successful season together and achieve our goals."
The centre-back's arrival comes at a crucial time for Hamburg, who secured promotion to the Bundesliga last season and will be looking to establish themselves in Germany's top flight.
Return to German Football
Torunarigha's return to Germany follows a successful stint in Belgium with KAA Gent. His previous experience in the Bundesliga with Hertha Berlin will likely prove valuable as Hamburg prepares for the challenges of top-flight football.
The defender's signing represents Hamburg's commitment to strengthening their squad with experienced players as they aim to compete effectively in the Bundesliga following their promotion.
Hamburg, a former European champion, will be hoping Torunarigha's defensive capabilities and familiarity with German football will bolster their backline in the upcoming season.
