Koen Casteels swaps Hoffenheim for Wolfsburg

Hoffenheim's Belgian goalkeeper Koen Casteels has completed a move to fellow Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

The 22-year-old, who made 39 appearances for Hoffenheim, has been out of action since last April when he broke his leg.

"Koen didn't have an easy situation with us recently and this transfer is going to boost his prospects," Hoffenheim director of sport Alexander Rosen told the club's official website.

Casteels has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Wolfsburg, but is likely to find himself behind Diego Benaglio in the pecking order at the Volkswagen Arena.
