SV Werder Bremen have signed Raif Husic from FC Bayern Munich. The 18-year-old goalkeeper secured a three-year deal with the Green-Whites until 30.06.2017.

Frank Baumann, Director of Football and Scouting, is delighted about Werder's latest coup: "Raif is a very talented goalkeeper and he will have the chance to develop further still with us. Although he is still eligible to play for the Under 19 team, we intend to use him in the Under 23 side and give him the opportunity to train regularly with the first team."

Husic, who made appearances for Bayern Munich's Under 19 and Under 23 teams, is eagerly anticipating him time with the Green-Whites: "It's a really, really great feeling to be here and to have signed my first professional contract. I am very much looking forward to the task with Werder Bremen," commented the young keeper.

Born in Zusmarshausen, Bavaria, Husic began his playing career with FC Augsburg, before making the switch to FC Bayern Munich, where he was in action for the Under 17, Under 19 and Under 23 sides. So far, the keeper has made a total of 89 youth team appearances and played eight ‘Regionalliga Bayern' games for the German all-time record title holders. In addition, Husic earned a place in the German national youth teams, securing a regular spot between the posts for the Under 17 selection.
