SpVgg Greuther Fürth officially signed dream player Heuer on July 7, 2026 – a clear move to improve their precarious league standing. The 24‑year‑old forward inked a three‑year deal and is expected to slot straight into the starting XI.

Who is Heuer and where does he come from?

Heuer arrives from fellow 2. Bundesliga side SV Darmstadt 98, where he netted 12 goals in 28 appearances last season. His pace and knack for scoring from the second line suit coach Christian Benbennekes plan to diversify the attack. The transfer fee was reported at about €1.2 million, a sum Fürth has not exceeded this season.

Why does the signing matter for Fürth?

The club currently sits 16th with 37 points, 10 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses. Their last result was a 2‑0 win over Rot‑Weiß Essen on May 26, 2026, yet form remains erratic (WLWWL in the last five games). Heuer is expected to boost the offense, which has managed only 49 goals while conceding 68 – a –19 goal difference.

How will Heuer be integrated?

Coach Benbennekes intends to start Heuer on the left wing to widen the flank. In upcoming training camps he will be paired with striker Simon Zoller and midfield engine Luca Zander to enable quick combos. The expectation is that Heuer will contribute at least one goal in his first three matches.

What does this mean for the season?

With Heuer added, Fürth could narrow the gap to league leaders FC Schalke 04, currently 33 points ahead. Every point is vital to avoid relegation. If Heuer makes an immediate impact, the team may reverse its recent form and make the goal of staying up more realistic.

Heuer’s transfer is thus not just a personal career step but a strategic move to revive the attack and ease the pressure in the relegation battle.
