Kevin Lankford joins FC Carl Zeiss Jena: An offensive genius is coming!
FC Carl Zeiss Jena has announced its first new signing for the coming season in an official announcement. Kevin Lankford is moving from BFC Dynamo to Jena and has signed a contract until summer 2027. The FCC is thus sending a clear signal for future squad planning.
The 26-year-old Lankford, who was born in Heidenheim, is a flexible offensive player and is described as an all-rounder. Last season he scored a total of ten goals and prepared just as many goals for his former club BFC Dynamo. Lankford can look back on a remarkable career - he started his football career at VfB and SSV Ulm before moving to 1. FC Heidenheim in 2015, where he made his debut in the 2nd Bundesliga in 2017.
Experience from league and cup
Kevin Lankford brings a lot of experience with him, having played a total of 51 appearances in the 2nd Bundesliga and 60 games in the 3rd league. He also played for well-known clubs such as FC St. Pauli, SV Wehen Wiesbaden, Viktoria Köln and Offenbacher Kickers. In the last Berlin Cup season he was able to set successful trends with BFC Dynamo when he scored a goal in the final against Eintracht Mahlsdorf and thus contributed to the victory.
FCC coach Volkan Uluc was very positive about Lankford's signing and emphasized his versatility. “He knows the Regionalliga Nordost well and will be a valuable addition to our offensive,” Uluc praised the newcomer. Lankford himself was also optimistic. He is looking forward to the new challenge and shows great interest in working with the team and in the support of the FCC fans.
Last season, Lankford not only proved his goal threat at BFC Dynamo, but also impressed as the team's top scorer. This impressively demonstrates his potential, which FC Carl Zeiss Jena would now like to exploit in the coming regional league season. His signing could provide an important boost to the club's offense as the FCC prepares for the new season.
Overall, the transfer of Kevin Lankford is a promising step for FC Carl Zeiss Jena, who want to start the next season with a strong team. The anticipation for the upcoming games can already be felt among both the players and the fans.
