Friends and family were a big reason for Luca Mayr-Fältens return to Austria. Of course, he always followed suit in America, not least because of his brother’s missions. “I want to gain a foothold in Austria again. Vorwärts can help me in my career just as much as I can help Vorwärts in the battle for relegation, “says the native of Steyr,” the clear goal is of course to stay in the league. “However, the personal goal is to make the leap into the Bundesliga at some point.
“As a trained offensive player, it is of course my job to score goals and hang up. The coach will then decide what my role is exactly. In any case, I would like to attract even more people to the Vorwärts Stadium, ”says the 25-year-old, who is supposed to make the offensive more variable. He has already proven his technical and tactical quality in the past. He can also create a goal hazard and has a high level of game intelligence.
“We are very pleased that we were able to inspire Luca, a highly talented player from Steyr, for us. The conversations were very positive and after we tried several times in previous years to bring Luca to SK Vorwärts, it is very gratifying that we were now his first choice after he comes back from the USA, ”says the sporty Head of Jürgen Tröscher.
Luca’s type is a very good match for the team, Tröscher is confident that Mayr-Fälten will settle in quickly: “However, we have to allow him a certain amount of time to adapt to the second division and also to our game idea. It won’t happen overnight, but he has the ability to adapt quickly. “
Luca Mayr-Fälten already knows some forward players from his sporting past: “In Ried I played with Alberto Prada and Kevin Brandstätter. I was on the same team as Alem Pasic at the LAZ. ”
The attacker signed with SK BMD Vorwärts Steyr until the end of the season plus an option. He will wear the number 20 on his back.
