Leeds United are delighted to announce Anton Stach has joined the club on a permanent deal from TSG Hoffenheim, subject to international clearance and a work permit.

The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract at Elland Road and now becomes the sixth summer addition for Daniel Farke’s side, as preparations continue for a return to the Premier League.

Stach brings experience and further quality to the midfield areas after playing in the Bundesliga for the last five years. His time at the top-level in Germany was spent with Mainz 05 and TSG Hoffenheim and he previously won promotion from 2. Bundesliga with Greuther Furth.

Standing at 6ft 4’ in height, our latest addition has made over 250 career appearances in all competitions and brings further versatility to the team, having operated in both midfield and defence when required.

With two senior caps for his nation Germany to his name, Stach’s international experience previously saw him play alongside fellow summer arrival Lukas Nmecha in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship final in 2021, winning 1-0 against Portugal to lift the trophy!

A commanding presence in both boxes and in the centre of the pitch, he brings a goal-threat having netted 26 times in his career so far.

Last season, Stach played six matches in the 2024/25 Europa League campaign for Hoffenheim and he scored against eventual champions Tottenham Hotspur, furthering his abilities at the highest levels of the game.

Everyone at the club welcomes Anton to Elland Road and we look forward to seeing him in action for the Whites.
