SC Verl boost attack by signing Dominik Martinovic

SC Verl announced on 16 September 2026 that forward Dominik Martinovic has signed a contract, adding a player with a €200,000 market value to their squad. The club, sitting on seven points from six games in the 3. Liga, revealed the deal at 17:05, confirming the latest transfer in their winter window.

Previous injury and experience

Martinovic spent the 2025‑26 season with SSV Ulm 1846, where he scored two goals and provided two assists in just two appearances before suffering a cruciate ligament rupture that sidelined him for the remainder of the campaign. Despite the setback, he arrives with 163 3. Liga matches under his belt, netting 43 times, a tally surpassed by only four players, including Kasim Rabihic.

Past clubs and connections

In the 2018/19 season Martinovic featured in three games for Sonnenhof Großaspach, sharing the pitch with sport director Zlatko Janjic, who now oversees the signing. Janjic, who also recruited Kasim Rabihic earlier, highlighted Martinovic’s ability to change matches and his mental strength.

“Dominik is a player who can change games. He brings enormous experience, quality and mentality and knows exactly what it takes to succeed in this league,” Janjic said, adding that the striker also takes responsibility and leads by example.

Player’s outlook and club’s digital platform

Martinovic expressed enthusiasm: “I am really excited about this new challenge. Verl feels like a place where the human and sporting side fit together, and I want to be part of something special.” He noted that discussions with the club’s officials convinced him quickly. The Sportclub maintains an active online Community, offering Gaming, Support and Premium Service, with regular Video updates and Neueste News for all (Alle) fans, even covering Bundesliga topics in its Analyse section.

Nach the arrival of Kasim Rabihic, SC Verl’s latest Transfers focus on strengthening the front line, and Martinovic becomes the second unattached attacker added this month. The club hopes his experience will translate into more goals as they aim to improve their mixed start to the season.

With Martinovic’s contract, Verl adds a proven 3. Liga striker to a squad that has collected seven points from six fixtures. The signing underscores the club’s ambition to climb the table and demonstrates its proactive approach in the market.
