HSG Krefeld obliges Felix Handschke: Auftung ALWAY!

The HSG Krefeld Niederrhein has recently been able to report an important new addition. In the middle of the promotion hopes in the 2nd handball Bundesliga, the association hired the experienced playmaker Felix Handschke from HG Remscheid. This step took place after the regeneration of the regional league team, which opened the Krefeld club the opportunity to sign a player that they had had in mind for a long time.

Felix Handschke, 34 years old, brings an abundance of experiences from different leagues, from his youth training up to time in men's handball, including the Bundesliga. He had his first encounter with professional handball at Empor Rostock in 2009, and since then he has played with various teams, including in the 2nd Bundesliga. This versatility and its pronounced skills are valued by Krefeld's sporting director Stefan Meler.

The challenge of the Krefeld

The decision for a transfer was not made without reason: the HSG is currently struggling with a tense personnel situation. The team is under pressure in particular in the center back position, since playmaker Tim Claasen is up to at least 2025 due to injury. The short -term failures of Lukas Hüller and Pascal Noll also make the situation critical for coach Mark Schmetz, since only one option for this important position remains.

"Felix brings an exciting overall package", explains Meler, adding that the adjustment time for Handschke should be relatively short due to the many known faces in the squad. These synergies could have a positive effect on team performance and help the HSG Krefeld to achieve the desired goals.

a player with a lot of experience

The back room player not only plays a central role in the game structure, but also has the ability to score yourself and to control the game. His former Bundesliga experience and the various play stations make him a sought -after player in the Eagles squad. "The contact with the HSG, especially Stefan Meler, has existed for many years," notes Handschke, which shows that this obligation does not come out of nowhere, but was well fully.

In the middle of the challenges that his new club has to deal with, Handschke feels optimism and anticipation for the upcoming games. His willingness to actively support the Eagles and actively support the fight for the climb is an important step in the current season where every game counts.

These news not only reflects a strategic move for HSG Krefeld, but also the determination of the association, despite the adversity this season. Further information on this transfer and its effects on HSG Krefeld can be found here .
