Stöger--who played two seasons with Bochum in the 2. Bundesliga--returns to his old stomping ground after two seasons with Fortuna Düsseldorf and an uneventful campaign last year with FSV Mainz 05.
"Kevin Stöger knows the Bundesliga and knows the VfL," club sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz remarked in a statement, "We have been dealing with him for a long period of time and are pleased to have obtained him on a free."
"The goal is clearly to stay in the league again, and I'll give everything to achieve that," Stöger--scorer of five combined goals for the club--added in his own statement.
In other Bochum news, the club should have another new incoming transfer to confirm very soon. Polish international Jacek Góralski reportedly passed a medical yesterday.
The 29-year-old former PFC Ludogorets Razgrad defensive midfielder has been rehabilitating his career in Kazakhstan over the past two years and should come to the Castroper for around €1-2 million.
