Next step in striker's development

The 6'1" player signed for Union last summer from SG Dynamo Dresden, provinghimself in the U-19s, gaining important experience in the first team squad, and then distinguishing himself in pre-season with his performances.

The Ukrainian experienced a special highlight in the Union shirt in the last home game of the season, recording his first, first-team assist in the 4-0 victory against FC Augsburg. He has also attracted attention on the international stage recently. With seven appearances and two assists, he strongly contributed to the Ukrainian U-19s nrun to the semifinals of the European Championship.

The reaction to the loan

“Dmytro is a special player with a lot of attacking quality, which is why we deliberately recently extended his contract," said Union director of men's professional football, Horst Heldt. "For his further development, the loan to a second division team is now the right step to regularly gain match practice in a strong league, to prove his potential, and to specifically prepare for the next tasks at Union. We will closely accompany his path and wish him much success."
