Englert signs for Ikast

German international goalkeeper, Sabine Englert, will be leaving Hypo Niederösterreich after two years at the end of the season. She will join Danish league club and current Champions League team Ikast/Brande EH from next season.

“I spent two really good seasons with Hypo Niederösterreich, but I want to put myself to test against strong opponents and good teams week by week. That’s not possible in Austria where the league is not strong enough. I’m looking forward to playing for FC Midtjylland (kast/Brande´s new name, which will be official from next season, ed.) where a lot of great individuals form a very strong team. It is a club always competing for the Danish title and it has always been a dream to me to play in the Danish league,” 27 year old Sabine Englert said as her three-year contract with Ikast was announced.
