Stephan Ambrosius’ move to SC Karlsruher will give him the chance to audition for a Ghana call-up for WC - Oliver Kreuzer

SC Karlsruher Managing Director, Oliver Kreuzer says signing Ghana defender Stephan Ambrosius was to benefit both parties.

As reported on Tuesday, the centre-back has signed a season-long loan deal with the German Bundesliga 2 club.

“The 23-year-old Stephan Ambrosius comes to Baden on loan from the Elbe until the end of the season and is supposed to ease the situation in central defence. The native of Hamburg with roots in Ghana, who will wear shirt number 15 at KSC, arrives at BBBank Wildpark today and will be on the training ground with his new teammates for the first time in the afternoon session,” a statement from SC Karlsruher said yesterday.

Commenting on the new signing, managing director Oliver Kreuzer stressed that it is a win-win situation for all parties.

"It's a win-win situation for both sides. We get a central defender who can help us directly and at the same time Stephan can recommend himself for a World Cup nomination. We are looking forward to a reinforcement on the defensive,” he said as quoted on the website of SC Karlsruher.
