Flying Eagles striker set to develop in new environment with Austrian side.
Nigerian forward Precious Benjamin has completed a loan move to Austrian club SCR Altach for the remainder of the season. The 19-year-old striker joins Altach from Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim, where he spent time with the U-19 team before progressing to the first team.
Benjamin expressed excitement about the new challenge, telling Altach’s official website:
“I’m really looking forward to my time at SCR Altach and the opportunity to develop further in a new league. The club presented me with a clear sporting plan that convinced me. I want to integrate quickly, work hard, and help the team with goals and commitment.”
Altach’s sporting director, Philipp Netzer, highlighted the youngster’s potential:
“With Precious Benjamin, we are getting a young, very dynamic striker who has already trained at a high level and has great potential for development. He brings pace, physical presence, and a drive towards goal – qualities that will benefit our attacking play. The loan gives him the opportunity to gain regular playing experience and strengthen our squad at the same time.”
The move marks a fresh start for Benjamin, who aims to make an impact in Austria while gaining valuable European experience ahead of his long-term career goals.
