Overview

  • The 21-year-old left-hander will feature in this season's Champions League with Odense, a regular in the competition.
  • Her move follows the insolvency of German double winners HB Ludwigsburg, which forced a rapid search for a new club.
  • Odense managing director Lasse Honoré praised Leuchter's potential and called her an important reinforcement for now and the future.
  • Coach Jakob Vestergaard, who led Ludwigsburg last season before joining Odense, highlighted her powerful backcourt shot and strong defensive work.
  • Ludwigsburg's collapse has spurred further transfers, including Xenia Smits to Metz Handball and domestic moves for Antje Döll, Jenny Behrend, and Mareike Thomaier.
