Tietz scored 12 goals and picked up 5 assists last season as he helped Darmstadt secure their promotion to the Bundesliga.

The 26-year-old will take part in training on Thursday and will travel to Austria with his new teammates the following day.

“I’m absolutely delighted that I’ll be wearing the jersey for FC Augsburg. The Bundesliga has always been my biggest goal and I will work hard to prove myself every week at the highest level. Those who know me know that I give my everything in every game and that I don’t shirk a tackle. I also want to build upon my goals tally from last term and help the team to achieve its goals this season,” explained Phillip Tietz. 

Stefan Reuter, board member for sport, is also delighted with the new signing: “In Phillip Tietz, we have not only acquired a physically robust striker who has scored plenty of goals for Darmstadt, we have also signed a player who has led from the front with his passion and commitment. His style of play and strong mentality make him an excellent fit for our young team.”
