TSG Hoffenheim is loaning goalkeeper Nahuel Noll to newly promoted Bundesliga side SC Paderborn for the upcoming season.

The 23-year-old, who extended his contract with TSG last summer, spent the past season on loan with second-division side Hannover 96.

With the move confirmed this moring, the young goalkeeper is expected to gain vital Bundesliga minutes with the newly promoted side.

"Nahuel improved again in his second season in the second division and, as the starting goalkeeper for Hannover 96.

"We are both convinced that the loan to the newly promoted Bundesliga side is exactly the right step to compete at the highest level week after week.

"SC Paderborn is also known for providing a supportive environment for players to develop. Nahuel can take the next steps in his development there.

“Thus recommending himself for even bigger challenges and hopefully helping the loan club achieve its sporting goals,” said Paul Pajduch, TSG sporting director.
