For the 2019/20 season: change to SV Heimstetten
From many sides, FC Augsburg was brought into direct conversation, which could sign the talent. But for Stefan Reuter (junior) this was never an issue. He doesn't want to know that he would only get a certain contract through his father. It was also important to him to get a lot of match practice in the men's area. He joined SV Heimstetten from the Regionalliga Bayern for the 2019/20 season.
There the 20-year-old has made 19 appearances so far in the season that is currently interrupted and has been a regular in coach Christoph Schmitt's team since the fifth match day .
Test matches against Dimitri Payet and Florian Niederlechner
In preparation for the restart, SV Heimstetten has had a few hits on the program so far. The regional league team played against nine-time French champions Olympique Marseille and faced Bundesliga club FC Augsburg. Two special games: On the one hand, because such games are always something special for a regional league club. On the other hand, especially for Stefan Reute r (junior). So he competed with the SVH against FC Augsburg and thus also against his father's club.
