German Defender Jakob Lewald Signs Two-Year Deal with Third-Division Club
Jakob Lewald, a versatile German defender, has joined a third-division club on a two-year contract. The exact identity of the club has not been disclosed yet.
Lewald, who was previously under contract with SV Sandhausen in the 2. Bundesliga, has been a valuable asset in the defense, as evidenced by his 32 appearances last season. However, despite his contributions, Sandhausen was relegated and will now be known as the Palatinates.
The Hessians, Lewald's new club, have not revealed the specific terms of his contract. Sports Director Uwe Stoever has stated that Lewald can be deployed flexibly in both a four-man and three-man defensive chain, suggesting that he will be a key player for the team.
Prior to his stint with SV Sandhausen, Lewald spent time with SV Werder Bremen's youth and second teams before moving to SG Dynamo Dresden on loan in 2022. His impressive performances during his loan period led to a permanent move with the club.
Lewald initially joined SG Dynamo Dresden on loan on July 8, 2022, and continued with them beyond the loan period. He wore the number 14 jersey for SV Sandhausen during the 2024-2025 season, making his presence felt in the defense.
The announcement about Lewald's signing with the Hessians was made on a Wednesday, but the exact date is not specified. The defender, who can play both as a central defender and in a more defensive midfield role, will be eager to make an impact in his new team.
As Lewald embarks on this new chapter of his career, fans and analysts alike are excited to see how he will perform in the third division. With his versatility and experience, he is sure to be a valuable addition to the Hessians' defense.
