Rot-Weiss Essen has acquired striker Dominik Martinovic to aid in their battle against relegation in the 3rd league. Martinovic, known for his extensive experience in the 3rd league, was in high demand during the transfer window. His move to Rot-Weiss Essen occurred after a planned transfer to 1860 München was canceled due to unresolved issues on final details, even though Slaven Belupo had initially announced the transfer. Martinovic has already started training and is set to join the training camp in Turkey. His new coach, Uwe Koschinat, commended his speed and goal-scoring prowess, noting his adaptability across various playing systems. Martinovic conveyed his excitement about joining the club, stating that financial reasons were not the primary motivation for his decision. Instead, he was attracted by the club's history, its passionate fan base, and the opportunity to play a role in its future. He is determined to assist in elevating the team from the relegation zone.
