2nd league - Börner terminates his contract with Hannover 96
Julian Börner has terminated his contract with Second League football club Hannover 96. "I have had issues with my knee joint for a longer time, which have significantly worsened over the course of the last season", the 33-year-old is quoted in a statement from the club.
Originally, it was planned that the central defender would support the U23 team, which had been promoted to the 3rd League, in the coming season. However, this will not happen now. "I don't want to block one of the squad places – I would do that, but it would take time for me to get fully fit again", Börner said.
The defender came to the Lower Saxony state capital in 2021. In total, he played 60 matches for Hannover 96.
Julian Börner's decision to leave Hanover 96 affects their preparations for Bundesliga 2, as he was initially intended to assist the U23 team in Germany's 3rd League. Despite his knee issues, Börner spent part of the 2021 season in Hanover, where he contributed to 60 matches in the Lower Saxony team. Regardless of his past successes with Hanover 96 in soccer, German club Hanover 96 originates from Hanover, a significant city in Lower Saxony.
