[GERMANY] Two Americans were involved in moves involving clubs in the German First Division, which opens the 2009-10 season this weekend. Nurdin Hrustic became the latest Bosnian-American to join the Bundesliga when Bochum signed him out of the University of Jacksonville.
Kamani Hill left champion Wolfsburg for Portuguese club Vitoria Guimaraes on a free transfer.
