HANSA ROSTOCK SIGN PEARCE UNTIL 2009
Chad Winger - Monday, July 16, 2007
US left back Heath Pearce has become the latest former Portland University player to join the German top flight, signing a two-year deal with Hansa Rostock after a short trial.

Pearce, 22, follows fellow Pilots Conor Casey, Steve Cherundolo and Kasey Keller to the Bundesliga.

"[Pearce] and Hansa Rostock have agreed to a deal until June 2009," Sporting Director Herbert Maronn confirmed to YA. "We expect him to compete and challenge for an important spot on our team."

"We are excited to have a young player of his caliber joining us for preseason and the upcoming season."

Hansa Rostock, last members of the Bundesliga in the 2004/05 season, won promotion after finishing eight points behind runaway winners Karlsruhe in last campaign's 2. Bundesliga.

Pearce, who spent 2 1/2 years for FC Nordsjaelland in the Danish Superliga, was previously linked to FC Copenhagen, Hannover 96 and AEK Athens.
