Ugbekile moves from Cologne to Iserlohn

"I look forward to a troop that has the potential to reach the play-offs. Nothing else should be our goal," said the 22-year-old, who has completed 137 DEL inserts so far, in view of his change.

After three years, Ugbekile releases the sharks and meets the Roosters some colleagues, whom he already knows from missions for the national team: "I think that will make it very easy for me to integrate into a team," said the Solinger native.

According to Tim Bender, Ugbekile is the second German defender with a national team experience that the Roosters have signed for the coming season 2022/23.
