Birkan Celik moves to FSV Frankfurt

FSV Frankfurt has secured the services of Birkan Celik. The 22-year-old midfielder moves to the Bornheimer Hang from league rivals TSV Schott Mainz. Birkan enjoyed his footballing education at 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Waldhof Mannheim, among others. In the Regionalliga Südwest, he played for FC-Astoria Walldorf and TSV Schott Mainz. Last season, Birkan Celik made a total of 26 competitive appearances, in which he scored four goals and assisted three goals.

Birkan Celik: “I can hardly wait to play for FSV Frankfurt from now on! After a strong second half of the season at TSV Schott Mainz, the move to FSV Frankfurt is an important step for me. Playing for FSV Frankfurt now is just the right thing to take my next step and reach the next level. I am particularly impressed by coach Tim Görner and his team. They made a very committed and professional impression right from the start and showed me exactly what their plan is for me. I am highly motivated and ready to give my all to be successful with FSV Frankfurt. I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead!”

Tim Görner, Head Coach FSV Frankfurt: “Birkan will inspire our play in the final third with his playmaking skills and his quality in attacking one-on-ones. He embodies a certain “street football mentality” and should bring the creative moments that come with it into our possession game time and again.”

Robert Lempka, Managing Director of FSV Frankfurt: “We are very happy that Birkan has decided in favour of FSV. He is a young, dynamic player who has great potential for development.”
