Thoroughbred talent from tenant king: Avlayici starts professional career in Fürth!

in Herbertingen is all about a young footballer who has caused a sensation in the past few days: Mehmet Avlayici. The captain of the U19 team of the 1st FC Heidenheim signed his first professional contract with SpVgg Greuther Fürth, which is a big step for his career. His path from the U19 Bundesliga to the professionals shows that large talents can also emerge from the region. Over the last two and a half weeks, Avlayici lived the move from Heidenheim to Fürth to raise his football experience to the next level. According to [schwaebische.de] (https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/sigmaringen/herbertingen/talent-aus-der-region-uncht-ersten-profi contract-3637483), the young player celebrated his 19th birthday not long ago.

But why did Avlayici decide to switch to Greuther Fürth? One reason is the family atmosphere in the youth performance center (NLZ), which appeals to him very much. In addition, the second team of Fürth is allowed to compete in the regional league and took an excellent rank with a strong third place last season. In order to continue to work on his career, Avlayici sees the time in Fürth as an ideal platform. He also has the opportunity to develop in the U23 team there-a plus point that he did not have to the same extent in Heidenheim.

The decision for Greuther Fürth

The contact with Greuther Fürth also came about via Marco Konrad, a assistant coach who knows Avlayici from his time in Pfullendorf. This personal connection played a role in Avlayici's decision to take the new step. Even if he received offers from other regional and top division teams and even completed a trial training session with a Bundesliga club, Heidenheim's coach Frank Schmidt found clear preferences for larger players in his position, which was ultimately moving Avlayici to choose Fürth.

With his new contract of two years, Avlayici has provided an important switch for his sporting future. In addition to football, he also has thoughts on training or studying to secure a "mainstay next to football". Such considerations show that he is planning to keep his career, which is not a matter of course for young athletes.
