After not being promoted to the 2nd soccer league, there was a big upheaval at the regional soccer team WSC/Hertha during the summer break: With captain Florian Maier, Valentin Frank, Lukas Mayer, Alexander Fröschl and Pascal Hofstätter, five kickers alone left the team from the trade fair city to state league club Bad Schallerbach. Davide Jozic leaves the club and returns to his Croatian homeland.
The first newcomers have also already been confirmed: Gentian Latifi is doing the opposite route, from Bad Schallerbach to Wels. Gabriel Awuni is moving from city rivals FC Wels to WSC/Hertha, with Hannes Huber (FC Blau-Weiss Linz) and Mayr Alexander (LASK Amateurs) coming from the second division. In addition, Denys Norenkov, a Ukrainian ex-professional, is hiring, who fled his home country because of the war and most recently kept fit with state league club Sattledt. Also new: Verhovsek Blaz from Bad Waltersdorf, Michael Oberwinkler from Spittal/Drau, Belmin Cirkic from Vöcklamarkt and a kicker from Spain.
Local rival Union Gurten has signed a well-known newcomer: After Severin Hingsamer, Lukas Schlosser is another ex-footballer from SV Ried.
