VfL Wolfsburg have strengthened their squad with Fraser Hornby. The Scottish striker is moving from future second-division rivals SV Darmstadt 98 to the Weser and has signed a four-year contract.
Fraser Hornby is leaving Darmstadt and joining VfL Wolfsburg. The Scottish striker has signed a contract until 30 June 2030, as multiple sources confirm. The transfer fee has not been made public.
Hornby was most recently active for SV Darmstadt 98, who will compete in the second division next season following their relegation from the Bundesliga. According to his own statement, the 23-year-old had other options in the Bundesliga available to him, but decided on Wolfsburg. The move underscores the club's ambitions to rebuild following difficult times.
The BBC reports that Hornby is moving from Darmstadt to Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee. The transfer is part of a broader restructuring at the Lower Saxony club. Earlier this morning, Wolfsburg also announced the appointment of a new manager, which points to a rebuild.
Hornby is to strengthen the club's attack and will be integrated into the squad immediately. With the four-year contract, Wolfsburg ties the striker to the club long-term and signals continuity in their planning.
