Hamburger SV has confirmed the departure of defensive talent Stephan Ambrosius at the conclusion of the current season, marking the end of his remarkable 12-year tenure with the club.

Ambrosius, who hails from Ghana, embarked on his journey with HSV at the age of 13 after transferring from FC St. Pauli. Displaying immense promise, he swiftly ascended through the ranks and made his Bundesliga debut at the age of 18 under the guidance of former coach Christian Titz.

Regarded as one of the most promising young defenders in the German second tier, Ambrosius was anticipated to play a pivotal role in the club’s reconstruction efforts. However, his progress was hampered by two severe knee injuries, impeding his development and limiting his contributions to the team.
