Socceroo seals loan to 'large and traditional' German club

Brandon Borrello has been keen on increasing his playing time in Germany for a long period now and has finally sealed a loan move to 2.Bundesliga outfit Fortuna Dusseldorf.

The 25-year-old has been in strong pre-season form, scoring recently for parent club SC Freiburg in a friendly.

First team opportunities under long-term Freiburg boss Christian Streich have been hard to come by however, with the renowned German manager favouring a relatively set first team lineup since Borrello joined the club.
