Goalkeeper Zieler to leave relegated Hanover

Xinhua, April 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

Ron-Robert Zieler has announced he is leaving from relegated Hanover at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper, who plays since summer 2010 for the "Reds", cited his wish to continue playing in the top flight, as the reason for his departure on Tuesday.

"I do not want to beat around the bushes and to be honest with you," Zieler said. "I feel strongly connected to Hanover, but, I am very ambitious and my goal is to play in the top-flight, also in the coming season."

Zieler has made overall 182 Bundesliga appearances as well as six international caps for Germany.

Hanover sit on the last place of the standings. They will be relegated into the second division for the fifth time after 14 years, as they have no chance to reach safety with three rounds to spare. Endit
