Zech return: Altach gets experienced defensive star back!

Altach, Österreich - Benedikt Zech returns to SCR Altach after five and a half years with the Polish first division club Pogon Stettin. The 34-year-old, who had already completed over 200 competitive games for the Rheindörfler between 2012 and 2019, signed a contract with an option to another year until 2026, as vorarlberg.orf.at reported. Zech was a crucial player during his previous commitment in Altach, where he was part of the team, who rose to the second Bundesliga in 2014 and played in the Europa League qualification.

"It is a great feeling to be here again in Altach. The club and the fans always meant a lot to me," said Zech in a first statement. He emphasized his motivation to offer the team both on and next to the pitch. Altach sports director Roland Kirchler emphasizes that Zech not only knows the league, but also understand the club. His international experience and leadership qualities will give the team's defensive additional stability, Kirchler continues. In addition, Zech has already played 20 games for Pogon Stettin in the current season before returning to his old club, such as krone.at added.

The native Ludescher now has the opportunity to prove himself again in the Bundesliga and to bring in his extensive experience, which he has gained in Pogon. The association is strengthened by this transfer, especially on the defensive, where Zech finally played a key role.
