The last half of the year Wimmer played on loan for Karlsruher SC. The people of Baden would have liked to have tied the 28-year-old to themselves for a longer period of time, but Wimmer turned down an offer from the KSC. Since this Friday it has been clear why: Wimmer was introduced to Rapid Vienna as a new addition.
“At Karlsruhe he made himself interesting again with good performances and I am very happy that we have managed to bring a player of his format to SK Rapid”, sporting director Zoran Barisic is quoted on the Rapid website.
