IFX newcomer Gabriel Padilla transfers to league leaders ASV Neumarkt for the remainder of the 2015-16 season.

Padilla, a native of Sacramento, California played collegiately for Georgetown University through 2012. Upon arriving to Germany for the IFX Pro Year Program, Padilla made a strong impression on the IFX Staff, as well as his former club SV Seligenporten. SV Seligenporten is one of the stronger semi-pro clubs in the region and has traditionally competed in the highest amateur division in Bavaria (Regionalliga and BayernLiga). In recent history the club has gone on to push several players on to higher divisions and traditional clubs throughout Germany. Former players include Dominik Stolz (SV Sandhausen- 2.Bundesliga) and Bernd Rosinger (1 FC Nürnberg II- Regionalliga Bayern / Wacker Burghausen- 3.Liga //Sportfreund Lotte-Regionalliga West).

Padilla went on to make a strong impression with the reserve squad in a defensive role (1 Goal in 19 Matches) of SV Seligenporten this past fall and now looks towards a new challenge. After it was clear of the player’s intentions for a change, IFX Staff set up Padilla with a game plan for this new challenge and it was determined that ASV Neumarkt would be an ideal place to consider. ASV Neumarkt presently competes in the Landesliga Nordost– the 6th tier of football in the region and is presently top of the table. The goal from the onset of the season was direct promotion back into the BayernLiga– the 5th tier of football in the region.

The Landesliga-Nordost campaign kicks back off on the 3rd of March, 2016 with ASV Neumarkt visiting none other than Padilla’s former squad, SV Seligenporten Reserves. We wish Gabe all the best during the second half of the season.
