Official: Hrgota set for emotional farewell from Greuther Fürth this summer SpVgg Greuther Fürth have been informed that Branimir Hrgota has decided to move on at the end of the current 2025-26 season. The striker club will not accept the 2. Bundesliga side's offer to extend his contract and is now willing to take on a new challenge.

“When I came to Fürth in 2019, I didn't think it would become the longest stint of my career," the Swedish marksman said, via a statement online. "We've experienced so much together, certainly culminating in promotion, but for me personally, it's also been the privilege of leading the team as captain for so long. “I don't want the focus to be too much on me now, because we as a team, as a club, are facing incredibly important matches that we absolutely want to win,” he added.

In 238 matches, Hrgota scored 69 goals and provided 41 assists, making him the all-time leading scorer for the club in the top two divisions. “Brane is an incredibly deserving player, and therefore we must accept his decision to seek a new challenge. "His contributions to our club are exceptional and will secure him a permanent place in the history books.

"We all want this story to have a happy ending, and we will give our all to achieve that,” explained sporting director Stephan Fürstner.
