“I always felt good at RWE and the enthusiasm of the fans was just great,” said Obuz in his first statement after his move Sports show reported. After a successful 2023/24 season in which he was loaned out to a third division club, the midfielder found it difficult to find his form in the professional squad. Now he is hoping for a new start in Essen, where he already has his roots.
