With 51 goals and 40 assists in 238 professional matches, Hannes Wolf has already made his mark with clubs like RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga and Swansea City in the English Championship. Additionally, his significant contributions to the Austrian youth national teams signal a player with great potential to shine on American soil.
In the context of NYCFC's current squad, Hannes Wolf joins Talles Magno and Julián Fernández as key pieces in the attacking sector, forming a promising trio. Mounsef Bakrar, signed in the summer of 2023, takes on the role of the main number 9 striker.
As the 2024 season approaches, New York City FC aims for a turnaround after finishing 11th in the Eastern Conference last year. The goal is to secure a return to the Audi MLS Cup playoffs, and the addition of Hannes Wolf certainly strengthens the team for this ambitious pursuit.
