Fraser Hornby has moved from Darmstadt 98 to Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee, signing a deal through 2030. The 26‑year‑old finished last season with 13 goals in 27 Bundesliga 2 matches as Darmstadt slipped into the relegation zone. Hornby’s transfer signals Wolfsburg’s intent to strengthen attack after a 29‑year absence from the top flight.\n\nHornby, who joined Darmstadt after a spell with Stade Reims, was under contract for another year but opted for a fresh challenge.

The Northampton‑born striker netted 10 times in 18 appearances for Scotland U21s and previously shone on loan at Aberdeen and Oostende. Wolfsburg now looks to harness his pace and finishing in a squad rebuilding for promotion in 2024 season.\n\nBy landing Hornby, Wolfsburg fills a void left by the departure of key forwards and adds a proven scorer capable of adapting to the Bundesliga’s demands. The move also boosts the club’s profile as it prepares for its first top‑flight campaign in nearly three decades.

Fans now anticipate a sharper attack and a push for European qualification this season now.
