Luca Witzke transfer from SG Flensburg-Handewitt to Handball Club Hamburg, Digi Mart USA News: Contract dissolved, medical check passed, transfer complete. Luca Witzke (27) is leaving SG Flensburg-Handewitt with immediate effect and moving about 160 kilometers south to Handball Club Hamburg.
According to BILD information, his Flensburg contract has been dissolved and he will sign with HCH through the summer of 2027.
Witzke passed a medical check at the Albertinen Hospital on Friday. The playmaker had joined Flensburg from Leipzig in the summer of 2025, but a shoulder injury sidelined him for almost a year.
The Olympic silver medalist only returned to the field in October.
According to BILD, HC Hamburg approached Witzke and Flensburg shortly after Moritz Sauter suffered a serious knee ligament injury in early September. HCH sporting director Johannes Bitter told BILD: “Luca was one of the first players we had on our radar, and we spoke with him.” Bitter said he does not expect much immediately: “Luca needs some time after his break.
We don’t expect much. Luca is simply here, one more in the squad.”
The league playing permit is expected Monday, and Witzke could make his first appearance for coach Torsten Jansen’s team as early as Wednesday in the cup round of 16 at champion Magdeburg. In a statement, Witzke said the move is a good solution for all sides and that he is looking forward to regular playing time, taking on responsibility and developing further in Hamburg.
