Ghanaian defender Patric Pfeiffer has completed a loan move to Swiss Super League side BSC Young Boys from Bundesliga outfit FC Augsburg for the 2024-25 season.

This temporary transfer marks a significant step in Pfeiffer's career, as he looks to gain more playing time and experience in a competitive European league.

Pfeiffer joined Augsburg on a free transfer in the previous season but struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup.

The loan move to Young Boys offers him the opportunity to play regularly at the Stadion Wankdorf, helping bolster their defence.

This experience could be crucial for Pfeiffer as he continues to develop his skills and aims to make a mark in European football.

Despite switching his nationality allegiance from Germany to represent Ghana, Pfeiffer has yet to earn his first international cap for the Black Stars.

However, consistent performances in Switzerland could bring him to the attention of the Black Stars selectors.

With a contract at Augsburg lasting until 2027, the loan spell at Young Boys will be pivotal for Pfeiffer’s growth, as he looks to return to Germany with more experience and readiness to compete at the highest level.

Young Boys, known for their strong domestic performances, will benefit from Pfeiffer's physical presence and defensive capabilities, potentially enhancing their ambitions for the season.
