Soccer - FC St. Pauli signs attacker Scott Banks

Bundesliga promotion side FC St. Pauli has signed Scottish football professional Scott Banks. The club announced this on a Wednesday. Previously, the 22-year-old had only been loaned out from English Premier League club Crystal Palace. Both parties have agreed to keep the transfer details confidential.

Banks joined us at the beginning of the previous season. However, due to a cruciate ligament tear, the striker only managed to make four appearances for Hamburg. During this time, he provided one assist. "Scott hinted at the beginning of the previous season that he could make our game even more unpredictable with his skills," said St. Pauli's sporting director Andreas Bornemann: "We also acknowledge how determined Scott was in his recovery from his serious injury to return to the pitch."
