Kray brings in a new player after all

On Tuesday, FC Kray announced that the personnel planning had been completed. Now a new player has been signed after all.

FC Kray has signed a new player after all: Danilo Curaba comes to Buderusstraße from Westfalen-Oberliga relegated Westfalia Herne. The 22-year-old German-Italian is no stranger to the KrayArena, as the native of Essen already played in the FC Kray youth team.

“With Danilo, we have been able to sign another strong left-footer who will liven up the competitive situation on the left side, as he can play the whole “lane”,” said sporting director Rudi Zedi after the signing of the contract. “We had been in contact for some time. I’m glad it has worked out now and he has joined us. “


After his youth days at FC Kray, he moved to Blau-Gelb Überruhr for one year. Between 2019 and 2021, he was promoted to the Oberliga with TV Jahn Hiesfeld. In the aborted 20/21 Oberliga season, he made seven appearances for the Veilchen. Last summer, he moved to Westfalen-Oberliga club Westfalia Herne. There he was a regular player and played 28 games last season. In Kray’s youth, he was also part of the U19 team that narrowly missed out on promotion to the Bundesliga against Arminia Klosterhardt.

“I know FC Kray from my past. The club was and is an absolutely good address for young players. When Rudi Zedi contacted me, it was quickly clear to me that I wanted to return,” says Danilo Curaba himself about his move. “I want to continue to develop in the long season with 40 match days and help the team to play a successful season. “
