Nahuel Noll

Joins SC Paderborn on loan

Noll has joined newly promoted Bundesliga side SC Paderborn on loan from Hoffenheim, the club announced.

Analysis: Noll played all 34 second division matches plus one cup tie for Hannover 96 last season, narrowly missing out on promotion as the club's first-choice keeper. Sporting director Paul Pajduch praised his progression in his second second-division campaign and described the loan to a top-flight newcomer as exactly the right step for his development, noting Paderborn's reputation as a club where players continue to grow. Noll is a modern goalkeeper known for his strong distribution and passing range, previously spent a loan spell at Greuther Furth and has represented Germany at U20 level, also being part of the U21 squad that reached the final of last year's European Championship.
