Linette Hofmann strengthens the VfB women

VfB has signed Linette Hofmann for the upcoming Regionalliga season. The 19-year-old is moving from the University of Tennessee to Stuttgart.
Linette Hofmann was trained in the youth team of TSG Hoffenheim and played 52 games for the second team in the 2nd Women's Bundesliga, in which she scored three goals and provided another assist. The Weinheim native also played three games for the Kraichgau Bundesliga team. The 19-year-old played for various national teams at state and regional level. Linette Hofmann played a total of eight times for Germany's U15 and U19 teams, most recently at the 2022 U19 Women's European Championship.
Last summer, Linette Hofmann moved to the USA, where she began her studies at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and joined the Tennessee Lady Volunteers university team. Linette Hofmann signed a contract with VfB until June 30, 2026.
VfB women's sports director Sascha Glass: "At 19 years old, Linette already brings a lot of national and international experience with her. In addition to appearances in the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, she played for German junior national teams and was most recently active in the USA. We are very happy that Linette has chosen VfB. She will strengthen us."
Linette Hofmann: "I'm really excited to get to know the girls and can hardly wait to be on the pitch with them. It's special to play for such a big club with such a large fan base. I've followed the team's success, I watched the last game live in Sand, the atmosphere was great. I'm looking forward to my time at VfB."
