Lara Schmidt joins BVB from SV Werder Bremen. The 25-year-old defender comes to Dortmund on a free transfer and will play an important role in the club's ambitious future plans. Schmidt has a good player opening, is thanks to her height very head-strong and offers an alternative against deep opponents. Lara is an absolute team player and also with her character a valuable reinforcement. We are very happy that she has decided to join BVB.
