Bundesliga 2 - Kaiserslautern sign third-league goalscorer Mause

Kaiserslautern (dp/lrs) - Third-Division striker Jannik Mause will wear the jersey of 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the future. The second-tier club announced that the forward is joining from FC Ingolstadt in the Palatinate. For the Red Devils, the 25-year-old scored 18 league goals last season and was the top scorer of the 3. Liga. The FCK made no statements regarding the contract length or buyout clause.

Mause played in the youth for Roda Kerkrade from the Netherlands, 1. FC Cologne, and FSV Mainz 05, where he made it to the professional ranks. After stops in lower leagues, he joined Alemannia Aachen in 2021 and FC Ingolstadt in 2023. It was there that he broke through.

Next Step

"Jannik has consistently shown in recent years that he not only knows where the goal is but also continues to develop. He is flexibly deployable in offense, primarily a natural center forward," said FCK business manager Thomas Hengen.

In Kaiserslautern, the offensive player now hopes for the next step. "When the inquiry came, it was clear to me right away that I wanted to play for this club with its great tradition and these fans. The fan culture in Kaiserslautern is overwhelming, unique in this form in Germany," he said.

1. After securing his transfer from FC Ingolstadt in the Palatinate, Jannik Mause is set to make his debut in the Bundesliga 2 with 1st FC Kaiserslautern, a renowned soccer club based in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
2. The soccer enthusiasts of Kaiserslautern are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the experienced striker, who proved his prowess last season by scoring 18 goals for FC Ingolstadt in the German second tier.
3. Mause's journey in German soccer began with stops at lower league clubs, including Alemannia Aachen, before he made his mark in the Bundesliga 2 with FC Ingolstadt.
4. The transfer of Mause to 1. FC Kaiserslautern represents a significant boost for the club as it aims to establish itself as a formidable force in German soccer, following its relegation from the top-tier Bundesliga.
5. The exciting addition of Mause to the Kaiserslautern squad is likely to ignite a new sense of hope among the city's soccer fans, bringing renewed vigor to the Red Devils' quest for a return to the Bundesliga.
