Last Sunday marked the transfer deadline for all eight franchises in the European League of Football. From now on, teams are not allowed to sign any new players to their roster for the reminder of the season. Some teams were busy before the deadline and singed a number of new players to improve their team ahead of week nine.

Hamburg Sea Devils American defensive back Marloshawn Franklin Jr. is out of the season due to medical reasons, as the team reported. In addition, Sea Devils defensive lineman Okan Güzel and offensive lineman Henning Knuth are also out for the reminder of the season due to medical reasons as well, according to the team.

However, the leader of the North Conference singed three new players to bolster their defensive backfield and offensive line.

Newly signed offensive lineman Oscar Sundqvist will help out on the offensive line. He is 28 years old and was born in Sweden.

The Sea Devils also signed two new defensive backs to their roster after losing Franklin Jr. for the reminder of the season. American defensive back Curtis James Slater was born in Japan and was raised in Texas where he played football for the West Texas A&M University. Slater was signed alongside fellow defensive back Jeffery Juurlink who will play free safety and nickelback, according to the team. Juurlink was invited to the International Pathway Program Combine in 2019.
