Deli Hajdini

Deli Hajdini has returned to SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, the club where he spent his U17 and U19 years, arriving back at the ground where his development began before he moved into Stuttgart's academy system. He joined the Kickers as a youth player, then spent a season with TSF Ditzingen before Großaspach took him on for two seasons across its junior age groups.

From there, VfB Stuttgart's U19 side picked him up, and he stayed inside the club long enough to also feature for VfB Stuttgart II. His time in Stuttgart's youth ranks ended on a high: the U19s won the DFB-Pokal der Junioren, beating VfL Wolfsburg U19 3-0 in the final, a marked turnaround from the previous season, when Stuttgart had gone out to Wolfsburg at the first-round stage. He also played in the UEFA Youth League during his time with the club.

Hajdini has represented Kosovo at youth international level, earning caps for the U19 side during qualification for the UEFA U19 Championship before adding an appearance for the U20s.

Now back at Großaspach for the new season, he wears the number 7 shirt and plays as a forward. Born in Kosovo, he holds dual nationality with Germany but has committed his international future to Kosovo through the youth set-up.
