Union Berlin confirmed the signing of Kevin Vogt from Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim on Thursday evening.

"I'm looking forward to the city, the club and the challenges that lie ahead in the coming months," said Vogt.

"Berlin has always had an appeal for me, so I'm very excited to continue my Bundesliga journey in the capital and to successfully contesting the second half of the season with my new team."

The 32-year-old centre-back arrives as a replacement for Leonardo Bonucci, who has joined Fenerbahçe.

"Leonardo didn't get the playing time he had hoped for with us," said Union Berlin chief Oliver Ruhnert.

"Nevertheless, he always remained positive and put his personality and experience at the service of the team. We understand his desire to move, which is why we have granted him his request. We wish him all the best and every success at Fenerbahçe and will remember him as a great sportsman."
