Fürth, Deutschland - In a surprising transfer, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim announced today that the 22-year-old left-back Marco John separates from the club after almost twelve years.

John signs a contract there until 2026 and has the option for further contract extension. This reports Laola1 .

The change comes as a result of the limited season that John had near Hoffenheim in the current season. After his return from a cruciate ligament tear, the defender only brought it to three missions in the second team and was only able to play two games last season. Andreas Schicker, the new sports director of the TSG, said that both sides had come to the decision in an honest conversation that John needed more game practice than he can get from Hoffenheim. "We are convinced that we have found an optimal solution with Greuther Fürth," said Schicker. Marco John had already played in Fürth in the 20222/23 season and established himself there as a valuable part of the team, such as tsg-hoffenheim.de reported.

During his career at Hoffenheim, John played a total of 16 Bundesliga games, four Europa League missions and a DFB Cup game. After completing the change, he will now appear again for Greuther Fürth, where he was able to assert himself a regular place last season. The club was enthusiastic about its return to the cloverleaf and hopes for a successful cooperation.
