Fresh from Iceland: MT Melsungen Brings in New Addition Reynir Thor Stefansson
Melsungen's latest recruitment: Icelandic player secures spot in the backcourt squad. - Reinforcing their squad, German handball team MT Melsungen signs Icelandic player for defensive roles.
Step aside, sports fans, because things are heating up in the Handball-Bundesliga! The famed club MT Melsungen has just brought some fresh ice into the game with the signing of Icelandic phenom, Reynir Thor Stefansson. The North Hessians made the announcement, and this 19-year-old left-handed dynamo is now locked in for the next six years, from the summer of 2022 to 2028. Sayonara to Fram Reykjavik, where this young gun was the Icelandic champ's prized asset, all free of charge.
Prepare to witness greatness as Reynir follows in the footsteps of fellow Icelander Elvar Orn Jonsson, who's departing for Magdeburg this same summer. Sporting director Michael Allendorf sees strong similarities between the two—both on the court and off—and has big plans for Reynir, giving him the number 19 formerly worn by Jonsson.
Adaptable as a left back or center player, Reynir can also work wonders at half position defense and the inner block. On offense, he's got some serious moves, boasting impressive 1-on-1 gameplay and a varied arsenal of throwing styles. With guidance from coach Roberto Garcia Parrondo, Reynir will develop at his own pace. As Allendorf mentioned, "Reynir's got what it takes. He just needs a bit of seasoning. We'll give it to him and more."
