Hartberg is facing personnel changes this transfer summer. After numerous departures, the squad has only been strengthened in a few areas so far.

What's happening at Hartberg?

Currently, three trial players, including 24-year-old Englishman Josh Martin, are being tested by the Oststeirers. Martin was most recently active at Cheltenham Town and can look back on five short appearances for Norwich City in the Premier League.

Who are the other candidates?

In addition to Martin, Simon Freund, son of FC Bayern sports director Christoph Freund, and goalkeeper Tobi Oluwayemi are also in the running. Freund and Martin are set to play in the test match against Ujpest Budapest. Hartberg is currently in 6th place in the Bundesliga, 5 points behind leaders Sturm Graz, with 33 points, 8 wins, 9 draws, and 5 losses from 22 games.

What's next?

The Hartbergers have their first Bundesliga game against FC Red Bull Salzburg on August 1. The transfer summer at Hartberg will be exciting - it remains to be seen whether Martin and the other trial players will make the leap into the squad.
