The next transfer
Perfect: Rapid snaps up ÖFB hope for the future
Following the signing of Hungarian EURO participant Bendeguz Bolla, Rapid have signed the next full-back: Benjamin Böckle, a defender for the left side of defense, is moving to Hütteldorf and signing a contract until summer 2027!
The 22-year-old native of Vorarlberg comes from traditional German club Fortuna Düsseldorf. In his first season in Germany, the multiple ÖFB youth and U21 team player made a total of seven competitive appearances for Fortuna.
Last summer, he went on loan to Preußen Münster, where Böckle immediately became a key player with 27 appearances in the 3rd division.
Rapids' path with young talent
"With the transfer of Benjamin Böckle, we are once again underlining the path we want to take with talented young players. He has a really strong season behind him, including promotion to the 2nd German Bundesliga, where he was an undisputed key player and played a big part in our success," said Rapids' Head of Sport Markus Katzer. "Benjamin has played around 30 youth internationals, made his debut for the U21 national team with Werner Gregoritsch in June and his physical style of play will give us more options in defense, but also in forward play."
