A breakout rookie season

Foster’s first year in the European League of Football was nothing short of spectacular. He finished as the seventh-best receiver in the league with 826 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, becoming one of Berlin’s most dangerous offensive weapons.

But his impact didn’t stop there. Foster also proved to be a difference-maker on special teams, ranking seventh in return yards across the league. With 819 total return yards and a punt return touchdown, he showed speed, agility, and vision every time he touched the ball.

Foster’s return for 2026 is a major win for Berlin. With another year of experience and confidence, the young star looks poised to take his game - and the Thunder’s offense - to an even higher level next season.
