Ertl aids Austria's evolution

Friday, September 1, 2006

FK Austria Wien have signed 23-year-old international defender Johannes Ertl from SK Sturm Graz on a two-year contract ahead of their UEFA Cup entry.

Austria debut
The 23-year-old signed a two-year-deal with the Austrian champions just a month after making his debut for the national team against Hungary. Wien sporting manager Peter Stöger said: "Ertl is tall player with a strong fighting spirit who can play on the right wing and also in central defence. He has developed very well in recent years and is a paradigm of our strategy: young and dynamic." Having been knocked out by SL Benfica in UEFA Champions League qualifying, Austria face Legia Warszawa in the UEFA Cup first round on 14 and 28 September.
