German Bundesliga handball team MT Melsungen recruits promising Swiss player - MT Melsungen, the victorious handball league champion, is acquiring Swiss skill
In an exciting development for the Handball-Bundesliga, Swiss sensation Luca Sigrist has signed a two-year contract with MT Melsungen. The 19-year-old playmaker, currently with HC Kriens-Luzerne, will make the move to North Hesse for the 2026/27 season.
Born in Lucerne, Sigrist has already made a significant impact in European handball. As a right back, he scored 87 goals in the previous season, placing him third in the European League's scoring list. His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, earning him a call-up to the Swiss senior national team, where he has scored 29 goals in 14 games since his debut in November 2024.
Michael Allendorf, the sporting director of MT Melsungen, has expressed confidence in Sigrist's abilities, stating that he has the potential to develop into a complete player. Despite his youth, Sigrist's talent and potential were too enticing for the club, leading to this highly anticipated transfer.
The transfer is a free one, as announced by MT Melsungen, and will not be preceded by any advertisements. Sigrist will join the team based in Hessen, with the first game of the new season scheduled against Rhein-Neckar Löwen on August 29 at 7:00 PM.
Unfortunately, Sigrist will not be available for the initial game of the season. However, fans can look forward to his debut in subsequent matches, as he embarks on this new chapter of his career. For Sigrist, this move to Melsungen represents the fulfilment of a childhood dream[1][2][3].
As the 2026/27 Handball-Bundesliga season approaches, MT Melsungen's lineup promises to be an exciting one, with the addition of this promising Swiss talent.
