Masaya Okugawa and Arminia Bilefeld were relegated from the 2nd German Bundesliga to the 3rd division last season.
Now things are looking up again for the ex-Salzburger. Okugawa has signed a working paper with FC Augsburg for the coming season. The change is free of charge. The two-time Austrian champion received a three-year contract with his new club.
Lots of Austria experience
The past two years have been anything but ideal for the 27-year-old and Bielefeld. In the 2021/22 season you had to go from the Bundesliga to the second division, in the past season there was even relegation to the 3rd division.
Okugawa has a lot of experience in Austria. In 2015 he moved from Kyoto Saga (Japan) to FC Red Bull Salzburg.
With a loan to Mattersburg and appearances at the Liefering cooperation club, he has made a total of 57 Bundesliga appearances and 64 appearances in the 2nd division in the Alpine Republic.
