Second division FC Schalke 04 has signed the Australian talent Dylan Leonard. The 18-year-old working paper is valid until June 30, 2030. Most recently, the right foot played for the first division club Western United, even during the transfer phase, the Gelsenkirchener had tried to get the service of the youngster, but could not reach an agreement with the club. Since Western United has now been withdrawn due to financial problems and all contracts with players were then dissolved, the central defender comes to the narrow.
“With Dylan we commit a very young and talented central defender. We give him the time to get used to Schalke in Europe in the coming months,” said Youri Mulder, director of professional football. The Dutch added: “He chose a big step at a young age. This shows the ambition with which Dylan pursues his goals.” Leonard was already a guest at the home game against Holstein Kiel at the weekend. “I am very happy to be here and have already collected many great impressions at the weekend. The Schalke responsible showed me a very interesting way in the conversations that I would now like to go with you,” said the newcomer.
