Rot-Weiß Erfurt Signs Dutch Forward Meghon Valpoort on Two-Year Deal

Coach Fabian Gerber frames the move as added depth for the Regionalliga push, not a signal that Obed Ugondu will leave.

Overview

  • Erfurt confirmed Valpoort, 25, has signed through 30 June 2027.
  • Club materials describe the near-1.90 m attacker as a physically strong, versatile forward who can play centrally or wide.
  • Valpoort arrives from Indonesian second-division side FC Bekasi City after earlier stops reported in the Netherlands and Malta.
  • Local reports count him as Erfurt’s 13th incoming player of the current transfer period.
  • Gerber said no club has approached about Ugondu and rejected the idea that Valpoort’s arrival points to changes at striker.
