Gear up for the 2025/2026 season, as SV Elversberg bolsters their squad with the signing of 21-year-old defensive powerhouse, Luis Seifert, from Hamburg's reserve team. Seifert, a skilled central defender with a contract extending until 2028, brings his expertise to the Saarlanders' second-tier campaign in the 2. Bundesliga.
A Magdeburg and RB Leipzig youth academy alum, Seifert played a total of 72 games in the Regionalliga for HSV before moving to Elversberg. With potential for growth and a rough diamond of raw talent, his abilities, such as agility, ball security, and technique, will undoubtedly be fine-tuned with the guidance of Elversberg's coaching staff.
SV Elversberg's sporting director, Ole Book, saw Seifert as a valuable armory piece in the club’s strategy to improve the defense and compete for qualification in the upcoming season. Speaking on the signing, Book said, "Luis is an up-and-coming player with a bright future here in Elversberg. His skill set is complemented by his great running ability, ball security, and technique — qualities we're eager to cultivate further together."
