Huth Convinces Paderborn with His Performances

Paderborn's Sporting Director Satisfied

"We are very happy to have signed Jannik Huth," said Paderborn's sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth. "He is a young, ambitious goalkeeper who has already proven his qualities in the 3rd division. We are convinced that he can also be successful in the 2nd division."

Paderborn's Tough Stance on Contract Extensions

In a recent interview, Paderborn's sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth made it clear that the club will no longer offer long-term contracts to older players.
