Yanks Abroad forum has a Kicker article in German that says Jerome Keisewetter signed a 4-year pro deal with Stuttgart.

 

Lyonel Hyer Is an American. he plays for Hannover 96.

 

There is also another American at Stuttgart but much younger than Kiesewetter.

 

Christian Takaki plays For VFB Stuttgart.

 

Christian Albelo joins Hoffenheim: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club...prospects:-american-joins-hoffenheim_aid24348

 

Lucky dog!!

 

Russell Canouse signs pro contract with Hoffenheim: http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/...-signs-with-bundesliga-club-hoffenheim-060412

 

According to posters in the YA forum, something is lost in translation there. Canouse is too young to sign a "pro contract" in Germany. (have to be 18) So it's probably some sort of amateur or pre-contract deal. Still really good news, though.
