Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich said on Tuesday that they have loaned New Zealand midfielder Sarpreet Singh to second tier side Jahn Regensburg for the coming season.
The 22-year-old All Whites attacking midfielder broke into the Bayern team from the reserves in early 2019-20, making two appearances in Germany's top flight. Last season, he was loaned out to second-tier Nuremberg, returning midway through the campaign after only five starts, and has played for Bayern's reserves in the third division since February.
Auckland-born Singh was the first player of Indian origin to play in the Bundesliga. He said he was looking forward to the challenge of Germany's second tier. "It's a very difficult league," he told the Regensburg website, "where anyone can beat anyone."
