1. FC Magdeburg strengthens with Samuel Loric from France

The 1st FC Magdeburg has reported a new addition to the full-back positions: Samuel Loric, a 24-year-old talented Frenchman, switches to the club. The player can be used flexibly on both full -back positions and brings extensive experience from French football.

Loric started his football career in his hometown Vannes, where he played in the youth of the AS Ménimur and later at OC Vannes. By 2019 he was able to contest 19 games in National 2, the fourth league in France

a promising career

The defensive player joined FC Lorient in 2019. He initially competed in the second team before moving to the US Avranches on a loan in 2020. In the third division, the Championnat National, he was used in 18 games and was also able to book a goal and a template.

After returning to FC Lorient in 2021, three games followed in Ligue 1, the highest league in French football. Here, too, he was not only used in the first team, but also again in the second team. His last stop before moving to Magdeburg was the US Quevilly, where he was both on loan and fixed from January 2023 to the summer of 2023.

In 37 games in Ligue 2, Loric was able to record a goal and a template, which underlined his achievements in the second division.

reasons for the transfer

The sporting managing director of 1. FC Magdeburg, Otmar Schork, said that Samuel Loric's obligation was a direct reaction to Herbert Bockhorn's serious injury. Due to the long downtime of the regular player, the association was forced to look around the transfer market. "With Samuel we believe that we can close the gap in the full-back positions," said Schork.

Head coach Christian Titz also said positively about Loric's commitment: "With Samuel we get a quick, running and duel player who can be used in both full-back positions." The trainer sees Loric's skills a valuable enrichment for the team and hopes that he can take a key role on the team's defensive.

Samuel Loric thus represents a promising addition to the Magdeburg and could possibly make decisive contributions on the lawn soon. The official confirmation of the transfer by the association has already attracted the attention of the fans and promises an exciting time for the team in the current season.
