Bundesliga welcomes Aron Seesing to its ambitious new club
In a significant move for the Handball-Bundesliga, national handball player Aron Seesing from Haldern has announced his transfer to Rhein-Neckar Löwen, effective from the 2026/27 season. This move represents a key step up in Seesing's career path as he aims to build on his initial national team experience and playing time earned at Bergischer HC by joining a more prominent club [1][2][3].
Rhein-Neckar Löwen, one of the strongest teams in the league, have identified Seesing as the successor to Steven Plucnar in the pivot position. The Löwen see him as a key long-term asset to strengthen their central attack and defense around the goal area. With a strong squad already in place, adding a young, talented national player at pivot like Seesing improves their team composition, particularly addressing the Kreisläufer role [2][3].
Seesing, a 22-year-old center back, has been a top talent in the handball scene for some time. He started his handball journey at HSG Haldern / Mehrhoog / Isselburg, before moving to the youth academy of Bayer Dormagen at the age of 13. Seesing's impressive career continued with Bergischer HC, where he significantly contributed to their successful placement in the top group of the league and was considered an important factor for their targeted promotion [1][4].
In the 2024/25 season alone, Seesing scored 94 goals in 32 appearances for Bergischer HC, demonstrating his shooting accuracy of 78.3% and his ability to block 38 shots [1]. His performances earned him a spot in the 35-man squad of the A national team for the Olympic Games 2024 and the World Championship 2025 [6].
Seesing made his national team debut under Alfred Gislason in May of this year and has been a regular in the junior national team. His impressive performances have earned him a place in the extended circle for the future of German handball for years [7]. Seesing will be hoping to continue his success at Rhein-Neckar Löwen, where he is expected to contend for substantial playing time and add depth and versatility in a physically demanding position [1][4].
The transfer of Aron Seesing to Rhein-Neckar Löwen marks a significant step in his career and strengthens their team slot at pivot. This move could potentially enhance the club’s tactical options and performance in future Handball-Bundesliga seasons [1][2][3][4][5].
