Swajkowski, Gianluca
– Rot-Weiss Essen
It was not enough for Rot-Weiss Essen to be promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga, but the two relegation duels with SpVgg Greuther Fürth still had a “positive effect”: Gianluca Swajkowski’s two appearances against the Shamrock will activate a clause that automatically extends his expiring contract at Hafenstraße. The 21-year-old midfielder has been playing for RWE since 2019 and had fought for a place in coach Uwe Koschinat’s starting line-up in the final phase of the season that has now ended.
