TTC OE Bad Homburg gears up for the future - Jo Yokotani and Ivor Ban signed under contract

TTC OE has hit the transfer market and signed two promising talents. Japanese player Jo Yokotani and Croatian player Ivor Ban will be playing for the German table tennis club from the coming season.

Sports Director Sven Rehde has thus complied with the wishes of Head Coach Helmut Hampl to work with talented young players and to develop them athletically.

Yokotani is regarded as one of Japan's greatest talents and is an offensively-minded player with a lot of potential and is set to take the next step in his development in Bad Homburg.

Ivor Ban, currently the 6th best player in the Austrian Bundesliga, is moving to the spa town. The 22-year-old Croatian is left-handed and the current No. 5 in Croatia.

“We are very happy that we were able to win Jo and Ivor for us,” said Bernd Röschenthaler. “Both are highly talented players with great potential. We are convinced that they will help us in the future”.

Csaba Andras and Benno Oehme have also extended their contracts. The TTC would also like to play in the highest German league next season. However, the squad planning is not yet complete and should be finalized in the next two weeks.
