Overview

• Clairicia arrives from LB Châteauroux on a free transfer after netting ten goals and providing four assists in 24 matches in France’s third division last season.
• He signed through June 30, 2028, as VfL Bochum’s fifth new arrival during its post-relegation rebuild.
• Sporting director Dirk Dufner praised the 22-year-old’s physicality, speed and goal instinct as fitting the team’s planned 4-3-3 setup under coach Dieter Hecking.
• Clairicia’s move marks his first professional stint outside France and represents Bochum’s inaugural foreign transfer under the current regime.
• His addition comes after the departures of Gerrit Holtmann, Georgios Masouras and Myron Boadu, reflecting a broader offensive overhaul ahead of the second-division campaign.
