New Sturm Graz star: Moroccan talent for the defensive!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - A fresh wind blows at Sturm Graz! The new sports director Michael Parensen made his first transfer perfect with the 18-year-old Moroccan defensive talent Smail Bakhty. Bakhty, who changes from his home Morocco to the Mur, signed a long -term contract with the "Schwoazn". He is to first play in Admiral 2. League for Sturm II to collect valuable playing time there, such as laola1.at reported.

BAKHTY, which can be used very flexibly on the defensive and can also show up as a former captain of the U18 team Morocco, has sustainably impressed those responsible for Sturm Graz during a trial training session. Parensen praised Bakhty's physical skills and his determined character, which characterizes him as a promising reinforcement. According to sturmnetz.at , Bakhty should not only be used in central defense from spring 2025, but may also be used in defensive midfield.

The commitment of the talented player is not only a sign of Parensens of fresh approach as managing director of sport, but also a premiere for the club, since a player from Morocco has never been part of Sturm Graz before. This transfer marks an exciting step in Bakhty's young career, which has recently been without a club and is now to find the ideal platform for further development in Sturm II, as was reported in the media.
