He played a total of 22 competitive games for the “red pants”. 18 of them in the 2nd Bundesliga and four in the DFB Cup. “Time was shaped by many heights, but also some setbacks, such as last year with several injuries,” says Raab to say goodbye. “Nevertheless, the moment of the climb, of course, outshines.
