German-born Ghanaian winger Christian Conteh has completed a move to Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim from 2. Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig, signing a three-year contract, the club confirmed on Monday.
The former Feyenoord Rotterdam attacker passed his medical examinations earlier today before finalizing the deal to join the Voith Arena outfit.
In an official statement, FC Heidenheim announced:
“FC Heidenheim 1846 has announced another winter signing: Christian Conteh joins FCH from Eintracht Braunschweig with immediate effect. The versatile attacking player has signed a contract until June 30, 2029.”
Conteh expressed excitement about the move, highlighting the opportunity to play alongside his brother Sirlord Conteh, who has been at Heidenheim for the past one-and-a-half years.
“The move to Heidenheim is the next important step in my career. I know the club very well through my brother, of course – being able to play alongside him in the Bundesliga will be something very special. FCH stands for passion, hard work, and great team spirit – these are values I fully identify with and that also fit my journey so far. I can’t wait to be on the pitch in the FCH jersey and give everything to help us stay in the league!” Conteh said on the club’s official website.
FC Heidenheim CEO Holger Sanwald praised the signing, emphasizing Conteh’s versatility and attacking qualities.
“With the signing of Christian Conteh, we’ve added a player to our squad who can be deployed offensively on both wings as well as in the center. His exceptional speed and dribbling skills perfectly match our requirements. Christian had a strong first half of the season with Eintracht Braunschweig. We’re delighted that the transfer went through so quickly and that we now have another attacking option in our ranks, one that could prove very important in the Bundesliga!”
Conteh impressed at Braunschweig this season, making 18 appearances, scoring five goals, and providing three assists across all competitions before his move.
The Hamburg-born winger, with Ghanaian heritage, remains eligible to represent Ghana internationally, keeping the option open for a switch of allegiance.
