Ex-St. Pauli star Lennard Sowah returns to Hamburg!
In the heart of Hamburg there is news that is exciting for football fans and sports enthusiasts alike. Former FC St. Pauli player Lennard Sowah is returning to the Hanseatic city. After an eventful career in various leagues, including the English Premier League, he will play for Concordia next season stpauli24.mopo.de reported.
Sowah, who is an impressive 32 years old, last wore the jersey at TuS Dassendorf before he decided to bring his experience to Concordia. He is known as the first player to be in the starting line-up of a Premier League team after the founding of the Premier League, i.e. after May 1992. This happened on April 18, 2010 in Portsmouth FC's game against Aston Villa. A record that will forever be associated with his name.
A look at the career
His path initially took him to FC St. Pauli, where he trained until 2007. He was then lured by Arsenal and the journey continued with a move to Portsmouth. He pushed his way into the first team under coaches Paul Hart and Avram Grant, but only later came to the fore. In addition to his Premier League debut against Blackburn Rovers, he also appeared in FA Cup games. Overall, an impressive career marked by ups and downs.
After his time in England, Sowah returned to Germany in 2010 and signed for Hamburger SV, where he never played in a competitive game. He continued to develop through various stations, including Millwall, FC Vestsjælland and Hamilton Academical, before ultimately returning to TuS Dassendorf in 2021. There he wanted to shine not only on the pitch, but also as a leader.
Horses in the Concordia stables
Now that he has arrived at Concordia, he is looking forward to the future. “I see a lot of potential here and would like to contribute to the stabilization and sporting success of the team,” said Sowah recently. His goal is to grow with the team and overcome the challenges that lie ahead in the coming season together. Last but not least, the ex-St. Pauli players bring his wealth of experience with him, which will be invaluable not only for the younger players.
The player's return not only brings joy to Concordia officials, fans can also look forward to his return to the city. Sowah has the right attitude to shine not only as a player, but also as a role model for young talent. And that's exactly what we're building on in Hamburg.
Sowah has already had an impressive part of his career and remains an inspiring figure in German football. Perhaps his next big step on the pitch will be watched with the same excitement as his previous achievements, which sit high on the list of Premier League records. And who knows, maybe he will build on his previous successes and ensure that Concordia has a reason to celebrate next season.
