The 28-year-old stopper of Ghanaian descent has completed his move to the German second-tier returnees in the ongoing winter transfer window
Bundesliga 2 side FC Magdeburg have announced the signing of German-born Ghanaian centre-back Daniel Heber in an undisclosed period of contract this January.
The former VfL Bochum U-19 youth star is joining the MDCC-Arena outfit from Bundesliga 3 side Rot-Weiss Essen, with the talented stopper set to play a pivotal role for his new side in the rest of the ongoing campaign.
"The 28-year-old central defender comes from Rot-Weiss Essen. FC Magdeburg has signed Daniel Heber. The 28-year-old central defender comes from the third division Rot-Weiss Essen and will wear shirt number 15 at FCM in the future," a club's statement over the signing of Heber reads.
Sporting director Otmar Schork revealed their keen interest in the 28-year-old since last term and he is now happy to have lured him given his versatility as a centre-back.
"We were already interested in Daniel Heber in the summer of 2021 and have continued to follow his career. Due to our long-standing injury misery, we had to act and in Daniel we have signed a player who can help us in several positions on the defensive," Schork added to his club's communications network.
He featured in 17 league games for Rot-Weiss Essen in this season's 3. Liga 22/23 football contest before making his transfer switch to the Magdeburg-based club this winter.
Having been born and raised in Germany, Daniel Heber is still qualified to feature for Ghana at international level as he is yet to be capped by the Germany national team.
