Karlsruher SC has signed central midfielder Tim Civeja from 1. FC Saarbrücken. The 24-year-old is the fifth new signing for the Baden-based second-tier club. Civeja played for the Saarlanders in the past three seasons. In the previous season, the two-footed midfielder made 35 appearances in the league, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. Civeja also played three times in the Bundesliga for FC Augsburg. Sports managing director Mario Eggimann said about the former junior national player: »Tim is a midfield engine with a lot of game intelligence, willingness to work, grit, and tempo. His style of play has convinced us, and we're glad he'll strengthen our KSC in central midfield«. Civeja has played for both the German U18 and U19 teams as well as the Albanian U21 team. On the other hand, Leon Opitz is leaving Karlsruher. The 21-year-old midfielder is returning to his home club Werder Bremen after the purchase option was not exercised. Karlsruher SC is preparing for the new season and hopes to be successful with the new signings. The KSC fans are looking forward to the new season and hope that the team, including Tim Civeja, will perform well. The signing of Civeja is a significant boost to the team's midfield, and the fans are excited to see him in action. With the new season approaching, Karlsruher SC is ready to take on the challenge and make a strong impression in the 2. Bundesliga.
