Signs with Freiburg
Jung has joined Freiburg on a permanent transfer, joining for Werder Bremen, his new club announced. "Tony fills the void left by Manuel Gulde after his retirement. He played a large part of Werder's games last season and brings a wealth of experience. Tony is an excellent tackler and, thanks to his left foot, can be deployed in various positions in several systems. He will be a valuable asset for us, given the upcoming demands in several competitions," said board member Jochen Saier.

Free agent after the season
Jung will be a free agent at the end of the season as the club announced they will not extend his contract. "We informed Tony of our decision in a personal meeting. With a view to the new season, we want to make a change in that position, provide new impetus, and thereby contribute to the team's further development. Tony has played an important role in the team over the past four years, was a regular in our team both during promotion and in establishing the team in the Bundesliga. Tony has given his all for Werder so far - and we are convinced that he will continue to do so," said Peter Niemeyer, Head of Professional Football.
