Striker eager to boost Australian World Cup prospects
Australia international Joshua Kennedy has joined Nagoya Grampus following Karlsruhe's relegation from the Bundesliga.
Kennedy had been disappointed by his lack of first-team opportunities at Karlsruhe last season and feared for his place in Australia's 2010 World Cup squad.
He has now secured a move to Japan with Nagoya and the towering striker is hoping to make an impact at his new club.
"I want to present a lot of goals to Nagoya supporters," Kennedy told the club's official website.
"I am looking forward to new challenges and experiences at the club."
The 26-year-old joined Karlsruhe from Nurnberg in January 2008, but saw his chances limited last term after falling out with coach Edmund Becker.
