SV Westfalia Rhynern is preparing for the second half of the season with four new players. One comes from TuS Bövinghausen, the others from the club’s own youth team.

SV Westfalia Rhynern has become a top team in the Oberliga Westfalen in recent years. This year, too, the almost-promoted team of the previous season is in the top flight – although it lost its two best strikers last summer.

Therefore, it is not the strong offensive that makes Rhynern successful this season. Rather, the club from Hamm can rely on its defence (14 goals conceded; league best together with SC Paderborn II). On the other hand, Westfalia have scored the fewest goals of all top-six teams (26).

In order for coach Michael Kaminski’s team to have even more scoring power in the second half of the season, they have now made some adjustments on the transfer market: Jonas Telschow is a young striker from TuS Bövinghausen. The 22-year-old is Rhynern’s first winter addition.

Telschow had only played two Oberliga games for the Westfalia rivals and league leaders from Bövinghausen in the first half of the season, both after coming on as a substitute. Since the second matchday, the Dortmund native has no longer been part of the squad.

Telschow proved that he is capable of scoring in the pre-season. Telschow scored twelve times in 19 Westfalenliga appearances for FC Brünninghausen.

And the centre forward is not the only newcomer in Kaminski’s team: With Pascal Müller, Carlo Romberg and Emre Coskun, SV has brought up three talents from its own youth. The trio have obviously recommended themselves with good performances in the U19 team, which occupies fourth place in the A-Junioren Landesliga Westfalen.
