Return after 15 years: Meier moves to St. Pauli

The 35-year-old did not receive a new contract with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt last summer. "I fondly remember my first time at St. Pauli. I made the leap into the professional game here and now want to help the club continue on its positive path in the second series," said the veteran, who played from 2001 to 2003 In 27 he played XNUMX competitive games for Hamburg.

With this transfer, the Hanseatic League responded to Henk Veerman's serious knee injury. The striker from the Netherlands is no longer available to the club this season due to a torn cruciate ligament. The North Germans are currently in third place in the relegation table behind the two Bundesliga relegated teams Hamburger SV and 1. FC Köln.

For coach Markus Kauczinski, the former Bundesliga top scorer is an important reinforcement: "Alex embodies a type of striker that we don't have in the squad yet. We are getting an attacker with a lot of experience."

Meier, who was born in Buchholz, Lower Saxony, just outside Hamburg, was supposed to train with his new teammates on Sunday. The Kiezkickers are heading to Olive Nova, Spain, for a training camp on Wednesday. In the first league game of the new year, St. Pauli has to play against Darmstadt 29 on January 98th.
