Sporting director Ole Book added: ''Raif possesses excellent technical skills and is very assertive in one-on-one situations. He has shown in the Regionalliga that he can consistently deliver his qualities. We see the potential in him to perform at a higher level as well. We are therefore all the more excited to take the next steps with him at SV Elversberg.''
