This was not only a formative time for the club, but also a real boost for his career. "It was a real turbo for my career and my whole future. My whole way has started more or less," recalls Poms.

During his first year in the Bundesliga, Poms had the opportunity to gain valuable experience and develop important skills. "Back then it was the first Bundesliga year for the club, also for me," he explains. This time was not only instructive, but also emotional. "I felt very, very comfortable," says Poms, who made the decision to leave Wolfsberg with a laughing and a crying eye.
