🚨 Surely this will work: 96 sign ex-Bundesliga player from the USA | OneFootball

Hannover 96 have completed their next transfer. As the Lower Saxony club just announced, Marcel Hartel is moving from MLS side St. Louis City to the state capital. 

"We had clearly agreed internally that we wanted to strengthen our squad even further – and we have achieved that with Marcel Hartel. With the way he plays football, he fits our team very well. At the same time, Marcel is an experienced player and, with his personality, has always played an important role in his teams over the past few years," Jonas Boldt is quoted as saying in the club’s press release. 

"Of course, I took a close look at which club in Germany would be the right option for me after my time in MLS. The talks with Hannover 96 were extremely good and gave me exactly the feeling I needed for this step," Hartel said in Hannover’s statement. 

Hartel brings a wealth of experience from the 2. Bundesliga. In 185 appearances in Germany’s second tier, the Cologne-born player recorded 75 goal contributions. Most recently, he registered 30 goal involvements in 59 MLS matches. Over the course of his career, the midfielder also made 30 Bundesliga appearances for 1. FC Köln and Arminia Bielefeld.
