VfL Wolfsburg is strengthening its squad with Fraser Hornby. The Scottish striker is switching 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 June 30, 2030, as multiple sources confirm. The transfer fee was not made public.
Hornby was most recently active for SV Darmstadt 98, which 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, but decided on Wolfsburg. The move underscores the club's ambitions to rebuild after difficult times.
BBC reports that Hornby is switching from Darmstadt to Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee. The transfer is part of a broader restructuring at the Lower Saxony club. Earlier in the morning, Wolfsburg had also announced the signing of a new coach, 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 planning.
