- Union Berlin temporary transfers Defender Jaeckel to Braunschweig's squad
Defensive stalwart Paul Jaeckel is headed to Eintracht Braunschweig on a temporary basis from 1. FC Union Berlin, as per the announcement by the Berlin-based club. The 26-year-old will link up with the Lower Saxony outfit to secure regular game time at a premier level and hone his abilities, as per Union's professional football chief executive, Horst Heldt.
In Braunschweig, Jaeckel is anticipated to bolster the defense, which has already let in 13 goals in just three league matches. "Our season hasn't kicked off as we'd hoped, but I'm really optimistic that collectively, we'll manage to accomplish our aim of maintaining our league position," Jaeckel stated in a release from the club.
The central defender had recently extended his deal with the Bundesliga outfit Union and was part of their senior management team. Nevertheless, Jaeckel has found himself on the bench frequently in recent times, which possibly made his move to Braunschweig more feasible, despite contender Danilho Doekhi's anticipated desire for a loan departure.
Jaeckel's move to Eintracht Braunschweig from Union Berlin is significant for the German club, as they aim to strengthen their defense that has conceded 13 goals in three league matches. After securing a contract extension with Union Berlin, Jaeckel has opted to gain regular game time in Germany's top tier with the team from his home country.
