Forecastinghad reported about it exclusively, now it is also official: SV Rödinghausen has signed Simon Engelmann from Rot-Weiss Essen. From 1 July 2023, the striker will be back on the hunt for goals at the Wiehen. He signed until the summer of 2025.

The 34-year-old already wore the Rödinghausen jersey from 2017 to 2020 and scored 68 goals in 106 games during this time. With a total of 166 goals in 307 games, he is the record goal scorer in the Regionalliga West. In the 2019/2020 season, Engelmann was instrumental in SVR’s championship with 26 goals and then moved to Essen, where he also proved very accurate, helping RWE to promotion to the 3. Liga.

There he made 23 appearances in the current season, scoring 10 goals. His contract with RWE will not be renewed. Essen and Engelmann announced this Thursday, 11 May 2023, that they will part ways at the end of the season.

Engelmann, who will move from Essen back to his family in Vechta in the summer, is also looking forward to his return: “I had a good time in Rödinghausen and am looking forward to meeting up with one or two of my former team-mates again. After my very successful time in Essen, it was important for me to be closer to my family again and still be able to play at a high level. Both of these things apply at SVR, which is why I’m very happy that it worked out.”
