The Leipzig Kings have added two athletes to their backfield. With Morten Runne and Oliver Bahr comes experience and talent to the European League of Football roster. Morten Runne played the last seasons with the Dresden Monarchs in the first German division and is hyped to return to his first home Leipzig, where he started playing football at 15 years of age. While not participating in games during the 2021 due to studies. "Now I want to make up for it with the Kings in 2022, looking forward to being a part of the team and going on the hunt for a championship title," said Runne, planning to clear the way for his teammates like David McCants or newly signed weapon Oliver Bahr.

Backfield for the champions?

Bahr also joins the Kings from the Monarchs. "Contact with the Kings came about through David McCants. David and I knew each other before. Coach Armstrong finally asked me if I would play for the Kings from the 2022 season. Since I was looking for a new challenge, I gratefully accepted the offer.The Kings had a first good year and Coach Armstrong is putting together a championship team for the coming season [...], which will compete for the title. I am glad to be a part of it and would like to have an impact in this league to help the team achieve the goals," explained Bahr his decision, following the footsteps of more Monarchs players who joined the European League of Football. Former colleagues like Robin Wilzeck (WR) and Tim Schulz (RB) joined the Thunder, while Kicker Florian Finke comes with him to Leipzig.

With McCants, Bahr and Runne, the backfield could be setting sails!
