“Darko is an attacking all-rounder, and he can make life tough for opposition defenders with his speed and skill in one-on-ones. He is able to pose a threat by making deep runs behind the defence, is a goal-scoring threat and is strong with both feet. His style of play fits well to our squad and we are pleased to have been able to pull off this transfer,” said sporting director Rouven Schröder.

“I’m very happy that this move has happened. My discussions with the club were very good, which made it an easy decision. As a team, we have a lot we want to accomplish and I want to contribute to that,” Churlinov said.
