  • Noah Weißhaupt has transferred from SC Freiburg to second-division club SV Darmstadt 98.
  • The 24-year-old offensive player signed a contract with Darmstadt, with transfer fee details not disclosed.
  • Weißhaupt previously played for Freiburg, with loan spells at Hannover 96, FC St. Pauli, and Legia Warsaw.

Second-division club SV Darmstadt 98 has signed offensive player Noah Weißhaupt from Europa League finalist SC Freiburg. The move was confirmed by both clubs on Saturday.

Weißhaupt, 24, had a contract with Freiburg until summer 2027 but was recently on loan at Hannover 96. He expressed immediate confidence in the move, stating he felt a "good feeling" during talks and believes he fits Darmstadt's playing style well. Sport Director Paul Fernie described Weißhaupt as a "dynamic player" versatile on the wings.

The Rostock-born player joined Freiburg at age eleven, progressing through all youth levels. He debuted in the Bundesliga in 2021 after helping the second team reach the third division. Weißhaupt played 78 competitive matches for Freiburg but had recently fallen out of favor. He had loan spells at FC St. Pauli in early 2025, followed by Legia Warsaw and Hannover last season.
