William Mikelbrencis signs with Darmstadt through June 2029
The French right-back, out of his four-year spell at Hamburg, has agreed to join Darmstadt in Germany’s 2nd tier until June 2029, says L'Équipe.
William Mikelbrencis has a new club. The French right-back, released after four years at Hamburg, has signed for Darmstadt (2. Bundesliga) on a deal running until June 2029, according to L'Équipe.
Raised at Metz, he made the jump to top-level football at 18 with Hamburg, where he experienced an upturn and then Bundesliga action. Arriving this summer at the end of his contract in northern Germany, he also has been a regular for France at youth level, from U16 to U20, giving him a solid international profile.
From Hamburg to the 2nd Bundesliga
As L'Équipe reports, in the final stage of the transfer window he was in talks with several European clubs too, including Espanyol, PAOK Thessaloniki and Le Havre. However, the move ultimately landed with Darmstadt.
The piece adds that he signed this Saturday, and that the agreement is for three years. For Darmstadt, it’s a clear bet on a young full-back with room to develop, but also with experience across different levels of German football, including the top flight.
