Born in Germany, grown in the US and in Australia, coming back to familiar soil. With Robert Lachmann and Moritz Hiendleder, the Hamburg Sea Devils have signed two defensive ends for the upcoming season, starting in June. Both players measure around 1,95 m and 115 kg and now have the chance to make a name for themselves in Germany.

While Robert Lachmann took his first steps in the Hanseatic city with the Hamburg Junior Devils and continued his career in the U.S., Hiendleder was born in Munich, Germany, but started his career with the UniSA Eagles in Mawson Lakes, Australia – making him an import player for the Sea Devils.

Solid Division II athlete and more

At the University of Albany and Clarion University, Lachmann grew to become the 2019 International Player of the Year Nominee and 2022 College Division II Defensive Player of the Year. "He has skills that will allow me to use him the way we did with Kasim. It's the perfect start to this chapter with a Hamburg kid returning home to represent his hometown team," said Kendral Ellison, Defensive Coordinator and, for the next two years, Director Player Personnel – now responsible for recruiting.

In Hiendleder, the Sea Devils have found a physical freak. Kendral Ellison is also aware of his qualities, "Every off-season I come across a player that flies under the radar and my only goal is to keep him under the radar until he breaks through for us. Last season it was Tim Hänni, this season it's Moritz Hiendleder. He's a gem!"
