Qatar secures signing of Hertha BSC goalkeeper, Kwasigroch
German Goalkeeper Robert Kwasigroch Joins Al-Markhiya SC in Qatar
Berlin-born goalkeeper Robert Kwasigroch has made a surprising move to Qatar, leaving Bundesliga 2 side Hertha BSC to join Al-Markhiya SC. The 21-year-old, who developed through Hertha's youth academy, signed a five-year contract with the Qatari club, marking a new chapter in his career abroad.
Kwasigroch made his professional debut for Hertha BSC in September 2023, but last season, he was loaned to Fortuna Düsseldorf, where he mostly served as a backup. He suffered a long-term meniscus injury during his time at Fortuna Düsseldorf, which may have influenced his decision to seek new opportunities.
The move to Qatar was initiated by Kwasigroch himself, who approached Hertha BSC with a desire to change sports. Sporting director Benjamin Weber acknowledged his commitment and supported his decision to pursue a new challenge. Weber stated that Kwasigroch's desire to explore new opportunities beyond Bundesliga 2 was not a secret within the club.
The opportunity for a move to Al-Markhiya SC in Qatar was significant for Kwasigroch, as it seemed to have been unexpected, prompting him to consider a change in sports. The move might indicate his pursuit of new opportunities beyond Bundesliga 2, as the contract offered him a substantial salary.
Hertha BSC expressed gratitude for Kwasigroch's progress in the club and wished him well for his future. Kwasigroch's potential career change is not limited to football, and it remains to be seen how this move will shape his future in the sport.
