VfL Bochum have completed the signing of Kostas Stafylidis on a permanent deal from Hoffenheim.

The Greek defender, who spent last season on loan at Bochum, has now signed a contract until 2023 with the Bundesliga club.

"I'm happy to be back here, the number 16 is back. Last year was one of the most extraordinary in my career. VfL is a great club, the fans are fantastic, the atmosphere at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion is phenomenal," stated Stafylidis.

"Together, we will do everything in our power to provide many emotional moments again this season, in order to stay in the class at the end."
