Dortmund seals Hitz signing
Borussia Dortmund has completed the free-transfer signing of goalkeeper Marwin Hitz from Augsburg.
The Switzerland international has penned a three-year deal with the club, having impressed in a five-year stint with Dortmund's Bundesliga rival.
Hitz, 30, made 32 league appearances last season and could now compete with international team-mate Roman Burki at Dortmund.
"After five very special years at Augsburg on both a sporting and personal level, I wanted to experience something different. I'm looking forward to the challenge of a club as big as BVB and especially to the Champions League matches," he said.
Ahead of this switch, Hitz has reportedly withdrawn from consideration for Switzerland's FIFA World Cup squad, where Burki is likely to be involved.
Burki started 33 of 34 Bundesliga games for Dortmund this season, with departing veteran Roman Weidenfeller featuring in the other match.
