Hit-man joins Bundesliga club on loan for season

Austria international Erwin Hoffer has joined Kaiserslautern from Napoli on a season-long loan deal. The 23-year-old striker is contracted with Napoli until 2014 after arriving at the Serie A club last year, and the Bundesliga deal will not include a buy option. Hoffer, who has won 16 caps for Austria, is hoping to break into the first team at the Fritz Walter Stadion. "Kaiserslautern is a good club with a great atmosphere," Hoffer told Austrian newspaper Niederosterreichische Nachrichten. "They were looking to find a striker who is able to break quickly into areas. "I am looking forward to picking up first-team experience at the club." Hoffer told the club's official website: "Kaiserslautern is a great opportunity for me to return to the national team."
