A few days before the start of the new academy season, there is further personal information to report from the green and white offspring. Winger Tare Ekereokosu signs his first long-term contract in Hütteldorf.

In the spring of 2022, the 15-year-old switched from the youth team at Slovan Bratislava to the youth team at SK Rapid, where he has been part of the academy since the summer. The lightning-fast offensive player made 23 appearances in the ÖFB U15 youth league last year and scored 17 goals. This spring, Tare Ekereokosu also received three appearances in an age group higher. In three games for the U16 he was successful once. Our youngster scored the gold goal in the derby win in Favoriten against the U16s of Austria.

Academy director Willi Schuldes on planning for the future: “Tare has developed really well with us in the past few months. He impresses with his physique, speed and goal threat. For this season we are already planning with him for the U18s, because we absolutely trust him to take the step.”

Managing Director SK Rapid Steffen Hofmann: “By signing Tare’s contract, we have been able to bind another talent to SK Rapid for the years to come. We are convinced that we can offer him the best opportunities for his further development and look forward to the future.”
