According to the Fortuna Dusseldorf Web-Site US U23 winger Jerome Kiesewetter has signed a 2 year deal. Jerome has spent the last 2 seasons with Stuttgart, playing mostly for their junior side in 3Liga.

Jerome' step up follows a season where he played 14 times, and was picked to play for the USMNT senior squad twice. In a straight (Google) translation Jerome says;

"I am very happy now to be a part of Fortuna. The anticipation of the preparation start (pre-season) is correspondingly large for me. (Head Coach) Friedhelm Funkel gave me during their talks a very good feeling. Thus was clear to me that the Fortuna is the right next step for me. "

Head Coach Friedhelm Funkel added

 "With he's dynamic and his speed Jerome Kiesewetter will be an asset to our attacking department. It is no coincidence that he at a young age first inserts the Bundesliga team VfB and in the American national team has already won. We will make every effort to further promote its undoubted qualities. "

 Note: Gotta love Google Translate.

The up-shot is Jerome is happy with the move and the Dusseldorf coach has him in his plans. Incidentally, Jerome leaves American Joel Sonora at Stuttgart and joins Justin Kinjo at Dusseldorf

Good Luck to Jerome
