Versatile defender Jeremy Dudziak has signed a contract valid until 2024 at Hertha BSC. The Hamburg-born defender arrives from SpVgg Greuther Fürth. “Jeremy is an experienced and versatile player, who can play as a left-back and in midfield. He has lots of experience in the 2. Bundesliga. We have secured the services of a player with a good technique,” said sporting director Benjamin Weber. “I’m a versatile player and can play in several positions. I mostly played in midfield during my youth, but when I first made the step up to the first team it was as a left-back – and that’s still where I feel most comfortable,” commented Dudziak.
