SG Flensburg-Handewitt signs Adin Faljic - Flensburg signs Bosnian pivot Adin Faljić to boost Bundesliga title chase

SG Flensburg-Handewitt has signed Bosnian international Adin Faljić to strengthen their squad. The 24-year-old pivot arrives from Croatian Champions League side RK Zagreb. His addition comes as the team sits second in the Bundesliga, just behind leaders SC Magdeburg.

Faljić began his handball career at Krivaja Zavidovići in Bosnia-Herzegovina before moving to RK Zagreb. There, he gained Champions League experience, though specific performance details remain undisclosed. His development in Croatia has prepared him for a step up to one of Germany's top clubs.

The signing fills a gap left by injured pivot Lukas Jørgensen. Flensburg's coaching staff expect Faljić to make an immediate impact, thanks to his physical presence and defensive skills. His familiarity with high-level European competition also adds depth to the team's roster.

At 24, Faljić specialises as a circle runner, a role that demands both technical skill and tactical awareness. The club believes his experience will help maintain their strong position in the league.

Faljić's arrival bolsters Flensburg's options in a key position. His Champions League background and defensive strengths will be tested as the team pushes for the Bundesliga title. The Bosnian international now has the chance to prove himself in Germany's top flight.
