FC Heidenheim 1846 has completed the signing of German-born Ghanaian winger Christian Conteh from Eintracht Braunschweig, confirming the attacker has signed a contract running until June 30, 2029.

The 26-year-old, like his brother Sirlord Conteh, began his career at Concordia Hamburg, progressing through the U17 and U19 teams before moving to SC Victoria Hamburg U19 and later FC St. Pauli’s U19 squad. He made his debut for St. Pauli’s reserve team before moving abroad.

In 2020, Conteh joined Dutch top-flight side Feyenoord Rotterdam, later spending loan spells at SV Sandhausen, FC Dordrecht, and Dynamo Dresden. He signed permanently with VfL Osnabrück in 2023 and moved to Eintracht Braunschweig in the summer of 2024.

Across his career, Conteh has made 26 appearances in the 3. Liga (3 goals, 3 assists), 72 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga (10 goals, 8 assists), and 6 DFB-Pokal matches (1 goal). This season alone, he contributed 4 goals and 3 assists in 17 matches for Braunschweig.

Speaking on the move, Conteh said:

“The move to Heidenheim is the next important step in my career. I know the club very well through my brother – being able to play alongside him in the Bundesliga will be something very special.

FCH stands for passion, hard work, and great team spirit – values I fully identify with. I can’t wait to be on the pitch in the FCH jersey and give everything to help us stay in the league!”

The Conteh brothers are now set to feature together in the Bundesliga, as Heidenheim strengthen their attacking options and aim to secure top-flight survival in the 2025/26 season.
