3rd league - Striker Daferner returns to Dynamo Dresden on loan
With Christoph Daferner, Sturm returns to Dynamo Dresden. The 26-year-old is being loaned from 1. FC Nürnberg, the third-tier club announced on Friday. There is no buy-option according to Nürnberg. "I have never trained Christoph myself, but I have known him since our time in Freiburg. He can certainly help us and the entire team with his quality and experience from the second and third leagues. He fits well with his down-to-earth attitude and absolute willingness to work hard into our group," said Dynamo's new coach Thomas Stamm and added: "The way he plays football matches exactly the character we have in mind for the club's playing philosophy."
Daferner played for the sports community from 2020 to 2022 in the black-and-yellow jersey. The 1.89-meter tall forward appeared in a total of 75 league matches (32 times 2. Bundesliga, 37 times 3. Liga, 4 times DFB-Pokal, 2 times promotion) for the team, scoring 27 goals and setting up nine more. In his debut season 2020/2021, Daferner contributed significantly to the promotion to the 2. Bundesliga with twelve goals and seven assists.
