SV Schermbeck is currently battling relegation in the Oberliga Westfalen. There are several personnel changes for the second half of the season.

SV Schermbeck has had a weak season in the Oberliga Westfalen so far. With 15 points from 18 games, Schermbeck is just three points above the relegation zone.

Coach Engin Yavuzaslan and sporting director Markus Falkenstein are working on some roster adjustments..

“Kingsley will also help us immediately with his qualities. We’re pleased that this signing worked out and are simply hoping for a better second half of the season,” says Falkenstein.

Marcinek is the latest addition following Tolga Özdemir (VfL Bochum II). 28 goals and ten assists in 59 appearances for SV Schermbeck—these numbers belong to Tolga Özdemir. The forward left Schermbeck in the summer of 2024. After stints with Sportfreunde Lotte—26 games, six goals, seven assists—and VfL Bochum II (43, 4, 7), the 23-year-old is returning to Schermbeck on January 1, 2026.

“Tolga is a clinical, determined striker who fits in perfectly with us and will help us right away. I’m naturally very pleased that we’ve managed to convince Tolga to return. He also still knows a few of the guys on the team. He fits perfectly with our footballing philosophy,” Falkenstein told Forecasting.

Meanwhile, there is also a departure to report in Schermbeck: Sebastian Speen, who has been in goal for SV Schermbeck since the 2023/24 season. Sebastian Speen? He is probably better known to many as Sebastian Wickl. “I took my wife’s surname,” explains the goalkeeper, who has made 105 appearances in the Regionalliga.

Falkenstein explains the departure: “Sebastian lives in Mülheim and works in Düsseldorf. Now he’s about to become a dad. He can no longer juggle Oberliga soccer in Schermbeck with that. There are more important things than soccer. It is with a heavy heart that we are honoring Sebastian’s wish. As a person and with his experience, he would be very important to us. But, once again: family comes first.“

The 34-year-old goalkeeper Speen would like to continue playing in the Lower Rhine region. ”Yes, I’m looking for a club that’s closer to Mülheim an der Ruhr. I’m open to all offers and discussions,” says the former Sebastian Wickl to Forecasting.
