German second division club FSV Frankfurt signs Shapourzadeh

IRNA - German second Bundesliga football team FSV Frankfurt signed Amir Shapourzadeh to a contract due to expire in 2010, the sports press reported Monday.

FSV Frankfurt was promoted to the second division at the end of last season which ended in May.

The 25-year-old Iranian international was also linked earlier to Hamburg-based second division Bundesliga squad FC St. Pauli.

Shapourzadeh who grew up in Hamburg started his football career at the amateur division of Bundesliga side Hamburger SV and later joined Hansa Rostock in 2004 as a professional footballer.

The new FSV Frankfurt striker has also played 3 matches for Iran's B national football team during the last West Asian Games.
