Max Kruse apparently still has the desire to play, as he has found a new club in the Hamburg Oberliga. He will now play for TuS Dassendorf

The fifth-tier club announced this late Monday evening. "The idea of returning to Hamburg has actually been there since the end of my active professional career. I am all the more pleased that it has finally worked out nearly three years later," Kruse is quoted in an Instagram post by the club.

"With TuS Dassendorf, I have absolutely chosen the right place," Kruse also explained. He is particularly looking forward to one player at his new club. Martin Harnik also wears the TuS Dassendorf jersey. The two have known each other since childhood and have already played together at Werder Bremen.

After his time at SC Paderborn, Kruse last played for the second team of BSV Al-Dersimspor in the Berlin district league, and now he wants to go on a goal hunt in Hamburg.
