“We’re delighted that we have been able to sign Simon Terodde,” said Board Member for Sport and Communication Peter Knäbel. “With his nose for goal and clinical finishing, Simon will be a great addition to our attack. He knows Bundesliga 2 well and, over a number of years, he has demonstrated that he has the right mentality and mindset to be successful in the division. That makes Simon a cornerstone around which we can build our new squad.”
