US talent Ethan Kohler moves to SC Verl on loan – a big step!
What's new from Verl? An exciting transfer brings a breath of fresh air to SC Verl. Ethan Kohler, a talented 20-year-old defensive midfielder, is moving to Ostwestfalen on loan from SV Werder Bremen. Loud kicker Kohler will take on a central role in the team next season and is the fifth new addition to the midfield after Joshua Eze, Almin Mesanovic, Fabian Wessig and Dennis Waidner have already made the leap to Verl.
Kohler, who played 26 games for SV Werder Bremen's U23s in the past regional league season and scored three goals, is considered extremely promising. After all, the Bremen U23s finished the season in a solid fourth place. Sebastian Lange, SC Verl's sports director, particularly emphasizes Kohler's aggressive style of play and his responsibility on the pitch - qualities that will certainly benefit the team.
Honorable commitment
“Ethan is an open guy who fits SC Verl perfectly,” says Lange about the new addition. Kohler was trained at a football academy in the USA and followed the call to Germany in 2023 after previously being under contract with Oakland Roots SC. Since then he has developed splendidly in Bremen and trained with both the U19 and U23 teams of the Bundesliga club. His performances eventually catapulted him to the U.S. U-20 national team, where he recently earned international caps. That's why Kohler will start team training at SC Verl a little later after his return from international travel.
Marc Dommer, sporting director of the Bremen Performance Center, sees the move to Verl as a logical step in Kohler's further development. The talent has the opportunity to further prove himself in the 3rd league and gain valuable match practice. SC Verl can look forward to a talented player who has high ambitions.
Focus on promoting young talent
In a broader context, Kohler's move not only exemplifies personal careers, but is also part of a larger development in German football. After all, the Bundesliga has a high-ranking role in promoting young talent. The clubs' academies set standards in the players' sporting, academic and personal development. The Bundesliga is strong in promoting talent, and successful examples such as Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry show how effective these structures are, as reported Sports Insider.
The 2024 season promises exciting encounters and promising developments. Kohler's commitment to SC Verl could be the start of something big not only for himself, but also for the entire club. The club will do everything in its power to promote the potential of this talented player as best as possible. The new addition is expected in the sports club arena next Wednesday - the fans can be excited!
