Following the signings of Elias Havel and Sky Schwarz, Bundesliga side Hartberg completed their three-pack at the weekend. As announced by the "Krone", the East Styrians signed a legionnaire from Schalke 04. In return, there are some who have already left Hartberg.

Offensive man Nelson Amadin signed a two-year contract until the summer of 2026. The 22-year-old Dutchman can be used universally in attack. In his youth years, the 1.86m tall Rotterdamer played for Feyenoord. This was followed by a spell at Dordrecht. In the last two and a half years, he played abroad for the first time for the traditional club FC Schalke 04 II in the German Regionalliga West. In 43 appearances, he scored 16 goals and provided four assists. In the past season in particular, Amadin scored 15 times. His cousin is the former Bayern and current Bologna player Joshua Zirkzee. According to reports, Amadin caught Hartberg's eye especially because of his speed.

Ehmann to Voitsberg
Fresh blood is also needed at TSV, as there has been a bloodletting: Goalies Ehmann, who is moving to Voitsberg in the second division, Knoflach, defenders Steinwender, Rotter (to Hartberg II), Schutti and Brückner and midfielders Frieser and Kröpfl have all left the club. In addition, Bowat and Sangare have loan contracts that have expired - it is more than open whether these players will stay in Hartberg. Same situation with Ousmane Diakite. The departure of striker Max Entrup (LASK) is also on the cards. Donis Avdijaj is another player who is constantly being watched.
