After 315 missions, Marcel Seegert (31) leaves SV Waldhof Mannheim and switched to SSV Ulm 1846 within the 3rd division. In the sparrows, the central defender signed a contract until June 30, 2027. At Waldhof, the long -time captain had lost his regular place in the past second half of the season, which is why he also lost the bandage to Lukas Klünter (29) for the new season.
“Marcel came up to us with the desire to switch to SSV Ulm. In view of its importance for the club, it was not an easy decision-but that is precisely why we wanted to enable him. In the past few years he has developed into a real figure of identification-sporty and human. We therefore only wish him the best and we hope to see him regularly in the Carl-Benz Stadium in the future-whether as a player or as a player. Sports director Gerhard Zuber on record.
Seegert said: “The decision to leave the SV Waldhof is incredibly difficult for me. The club, the fans, my teammates and everyone who participates in the background mean a lot to me. I have grown not only as a footballer, but also as a person. As a native of Mannheim, it was always something special for me to wear the jersey of my home club. Farewell of course, I am convinced that it is the right step for me at the moment.
At the second division relegation from Ulm, the 14th new addition is Seegert. He is said to replace captain Johannes Reichert (34), who got a cruciate ligament tear in the first game of the season. “We were able to react very quickly to the serious injury of Jo Reichert and gain a player in Cello who has an enormous experience in the 3rd division and can help on our defensive.
