Homecoming and extension: Otto Stange returns to HSV! | OneFootball

HSV will once again rely on its greatest attacking talent in the decisive phase of this season. Otto Stange is back on the Elbe!

In this context, the youngster has extended his contract with the Red Shorts. The club and the player had already agreed on this step for the upcoming summer, before he was loaned out to SV 07 Elversberg.

Despite some promising substitute appearances and five scorer points (three goals, two assists) in just 181 minutes of play, Stange was unable to establish himself sustainably in Saarland. The 18-year-old did not start a single match in the 2. Bundesliga. As a logical consequence, the German youth international is now returning to Volkspark.

There, since his move from the youth ranks of Eimsbütteler TV in the summer of 2022, he has played for all the youth teams. In November 2024, he made his professional debut in Braunschweig. In total, he has already made 15 competitive appearances and scored two goals for the first team.

Stange: “HSV is my home”

Sporting director Claus Costa emphasized when announcing the return especially the added value Stange brings to the current squad. The attacker gives the offense “variability and depth,” can play several positions, and is already fully integrated both athletically and personally. Especially in light of personnel shortages, his return is an important signal.

Another clear sign is the contract extension, which has now been officially completed. Stange himself is emotional: “I don’t need to emphasize that Hamburg and HSV are my home. I’m just very happy to be back and to have extended my contract with HSV at the same time.” Nevertheless, he also looks back on his time in Elversberg “with positive memories.”

As part of a double transfer, midfielder Immanuel Pherai has also been loaned to SVE until the end of the season to gain more match practice there.
