Transfer market emphasizes that Heike was able to show a noticeable upward trend in the Regionalliga Nordost.
A positive new beginning

In his conversations with those responsible at MSV, he was enthusiastic about the tradition and ambitions of the club. “I would like to thank Ingolstadt for the instructive season in which I was able to mature as a person and as a footballer,” he said. Coach Dietmar Hirsch is pleased with the commitment and skills that Heike can bring to the team.
Heike is already the fifth external newcomer to join MSV Duisburg this summer break. As of now, there were already 25 players at the start of training, only substitute keeper Julius Paris had to miss out due to a gastrointestinal illness. The zebras plan to enter the training period without pressure, with the aim of continuously developing themselves further. Kicker emphasizes that further departures, especially of players like Gerrit Wegkamp and Moritz Montag, cannot be ruled out.

MSV Duisburg's first test match will take place next Saturday against the district league team Duisburger SV 1900. A training camp is also planned in the Netherlands, where the team wants to set the course for a successful third division season. Preparations are already in full swing and MSV Duisburg appears to be well prepared for the challenges ahead in the new season. With Tim Heike in the ranks, the offensive could cause a sensation.
