The Berlin club returning to the highest league in Germany has signed a contract with the goalkeeper Thomas Kraft from Munich.

The footballer's contract with the Bavarian team will expire in June, so he will move to the capital without a transfer fee. He has committed to represent the "Hertha" team for the next four years.

23-year-old Kraft became the main goalkeeper for "Bayern" in the middle of this season, displacing veteran Joerg Butt. However, after a few unsuccessful matches and the dismissal of coach Louis van Gaal, the goalkeeper once again found himself on the bench.

"Hertha" is a huge challenge for me, - said Kraft. - I am glad that we will have the opportunity to compete together in the German league. I see great enthusiasm, so it was not difficult to make a decision."
