Yannik Lührs leaves BVB for newly promoted third division club | OneFootball

He has already played in the 1st Bundesliga. Yannik Lührs has also been on the pitch in the 2nd Bundesliga. But from now on, the 21-year-old central defender will be playing in the 3rd league. The native of Hanover is swapping the reserve of Borussia Dortmund for that of TSG Hoffenheim.

In the summer of 2024, Lührs moved from Hannover 96 to BVB. The defensive specialist came to the Pott club with the experience of ten appearances in the second league. He signed a contract with a term of two years.

In the U23 of the Black and Yellows, he immediately established himself as a regular. At the end of the 2024/25 season, he had 33 appearances to his name (one goal). He also represented his colors in the top league. On November 9, 2024, he made his debut in the highest German league with a 1:3 defeat in Mainz. In mid-December, he made a brief appearance in the 1:1 draw against Hoffenheim, before the highlight of his time at Borussia followed. On January 10, 2025, he was in the starting line-up for the 2:3 home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. But it was to be his last appearance in the licensed squad.

Return to the 3rd League

In the current season, the U23 of BVB has been his footballing home. He played the full 90 minutes in the Regional League four times – most recently on Saturday (August 30) in the 1:2 defeat against Mönchengladbach II.

The match against the namesake from the Lower Rhine was supposed to be Lührs' farewell performance. On Monday, TSG Hoffenheim announced the signing of the 21-year-old. However, he is not intended for the Bundesliga at the Kraichgauers, but for the reserve, which has recently been promoted to the 3rd league.

TSG has started the new season strongly. After four rounds, the newcomer is in second place with ten points, behind leaders MSV Duisburg (twelve points). "I am really looking forward to the season with the U23 in the 3rd league," says Lührs in a club announcement.
