TuS Bövinghausen is not letting up on the transfer market and has landed the next top-class player – by Oberliga standards.

After players like Jeron Al-Hazaimeh (Wuppertaler SV), Marcus Piossek (SV Meppen) or Umut Yildiz (SG Wattenscheid 09), the highly ambitious TuS Bövinghausen was able to present the next top-class player on Corpus Christi (8 June 2023).

Gordon Wild, who most recently played for 1. FC Bocholt, will join the Dortmund Oberliga club, which has set its sights on promotion to the Regionalliga next season. Wild played twelve games for regional league side Bocholt in the last series. He moved to Hünting in the winter from MSV Duisburg, for whom he played in six games.

“With Gordon, we have signed an absolute offensive machine. His left foot is a weapon, both in finishing and in serving his teammate. We are happy that such a top player has chosen us. A big thank you is also due to Gordon’s advisor at this point. Sercan Güvenisik has accompanied this transfer very positively. That is not always a matter of course,” Christian Knappmann, coach of TuS Bövinghausen, explained to RevierSport.

In addition to the experienced Damir Kurtovic (ASK Ahlen), Al-Hazaimeh (31), Piossek (33), Yildiz, who is also only 23 years old, and now Wild (27), Bövinghausen previously had talents like Moritz Brüggemann (Westfalia Herne), Luis Ortmann (SV Lippstadt), Arnis Osmani (Rot-Weiss Essen U19), Joelle Cavit Tomczak (TVD Velbert), Almin Hodza (SV Hohenlimburg) or Chrysanth Mallek (ASC 09 Dortmund). These players are all between 19 and 21 years old. It’s the mix that makes it in the end, as Knappmann emphasises.

“We need leaders and young guns who really want to march. We are currently on a great path in our squad planning and are very satisfied. But we are not finished yet. There’s still a lot to come,” promises Knappmann, who himself is 42 years old.
