SK Rapid Wien signs Andreas Weimann on loan until the end of the season. The 34-year-old forward comes from Derby County and will wear the number 26 jersey. Commercial director Markus Katzer says about the current newcomer: „I am very happy that an agreement was reached with the esteemed colleagues from Derby County and would like to welcome Andi Weimann warmly to us. His qualities are well known and I am pleased that we will have a very experienced and characteristically outstanding leader in our ranks for the next few months. I am convinced that he will quickly become a real boost for us and hope that he will also make it to the red-white-red selection for the upcoming World Cup with good performances in the green-white dress.“ Andreas Weimann has completed all medical examinations on Thursday and says about his first professional career station outside the United Kingdom: „Since I did not think that I would play on club level in Austria again, I am all the more pleased that this is now possible at my youth club. I want to help the team as quickly as possible and will be ready from the first day with a hundred percent effort for the green-white colors. Rapid laid the foundation for my international career, for which I was always grateful and hope to repay it now.“
