“Dominik is a young, versatile wingback that will add a dynamic element to the left flank,” said Republic FC President and General Manager Todd Dunivant. “He is dangerous both scoring and creating goals, and we’re looking forward to introducing him to Sacramento.”

The 25-year-old began his youth career with German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund and across three seasons recorded 12 goals and five assists in 75 appearances. He won a total of three league championships – two with the U19 squad and one with the U17s. At the national level, he has made 13 total appearances across Germany’s youth teams.
