Eintracht Frankfurt has officially announced the signing of Julian Etse, a center-back from the club's second team, to his first professional contract.

Etse was rewarded for his outstanding preseason preparation and significant progress. Eintracht Frankfurt officially announced the news on Friday.

Timo Hardung, Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director, said: "Julian has made huge progress in recent months. With his height, physical attributes, and mentality, he possesses very attractive qualities for a center-back. With this professional contract, we are now laying the foundation for him to continue developing at a high level."

The 1.92-meter-tall Etse trained at Bochum until 2025. That summer, the young center-back transferred to SSV Ulm 1846 Fußball in the 3. Liga. He made four appearances in the first half of the season before being loaned to TSV Steinbach Haiger in the Regionalliga Südwest during the winter transfer window.
