Mats Pannewig signs professional VfL Bochum contract!

VfL Bochum 1848 pens down the next talent from its own academy on a long-term basis: Mats Pannewig has signed his first professional contract, which runs until June 30, 2025 and includes the option for an extension for another year.

“Mats Pannewig has developed enormously during his time with us at the academy,” Patrick Fabian, Director of Sport at VfL Bochum 1848, said of the 18-year-old midfielder. “We’ve had him in training with the professional team time and again, he’s played in friendlies and he was also part of the group at the winter training camp. Mats has a good physique, is tall and technically very well trained. We are pleased to be able to integrate another player from our talent pool into the professional ranks and are convinced that his development is far from over. ”

“I felt very comfortable at VfL from the very first moment,” says Mats Pannewig. “The decision to move to Bochum was absolutely right. I was able to develop further in the U19s under the guidance of Heiko Butscher and have been given a super reception by the professionals. That’s why I’m really looking forward to the challenges ahead and to working with Thomas Letsch and the coaching team. At the moment, though, I’m fully focused on the U19s, where we have important games in the coming weeks.”
