Young Star Martin Ens Bids Adieu to Paderborn for Verl
Player Leaves Paderborn for Transfer to Verl - Defender Ens transfers from Paderborn to Verl football club
Martin Ens, a 23-year-old defensive midfielder, is trading his looter's boots at SC Paderborn for the greener pastures of SC Verl in the third division. Interestingly enough, Paderborn reserves the right to reclaim their home-grown talent under a well-crafted buy-back option.
This move comes after Ens' desire for regular top-tier playtime was recognized by the powers that be at Paderborn. According to Benjamin Weber, the sporting director of Paderborn, Ens would likely receive this playing time at SC Verl. He is optimistic about Ens' growth, stating, "For his further development, Martin Ens needs regular playing time at a high level, which is likely to be better provided at SC Verl in the upcoming season."
Ens, who cut his teeth in Paderborn's youth ranks, has already notched up five second-division appearances for the East Westphalians. It's time to prove his mettle in a new environment, proving that he's more than just a prospect.
