Inks deal with Red Bulls Hack has signed with the New York Red Bulls out of free agency, according to his new club.

Impact Hack has found a new landing spot after departing Mainz in August, with the German heading stateside to join the Red Bulls. He signs a two-year deal, holding an option for the 2027 campaign. He is a solid defender who held a rotational role throughout his tenure with Mainz, although he could see that role elevate in MLS play. He also is a solid two-way threat, adding some value with his goal contributions.

Active against TuS Koblenz Hack (groin) took part in Friday's 6-1 friendly win over TuS Koblenz.

Impact Hack got the start and played the first half of Friday's 6-1 win. The center-back ended the season on the sideline with a groin injury but was able to return fully in the friendly. Hack lost his starting role entirely after the World Cup break and will have to work actively in pre-season to have any chance of returning.

Season over Hack (groin) underwent a minor surgery and will miss the final two Bundesliga matches, according to manager Bo Svensson.

Impact Hack is set for the sideline for the final two Bundesliga matches after undergoing a groin surgery. The center-back opened the season with a major role in the starting XI before falling completely out of favor in the second half. His future with Mainz is uncertain heading into an off-season where he will work on recovering from the groin issue.

MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with groin issues Hack (groin) was absent from training Wednesday due to ongoing groin issues, Bild reports.

Impact Hack was sidelined in training Wednesday as he continues to complain of pain in his groin. The defender has fallen totally out of the starting XI, with only one appearance in the last 10 matches, going unused on the bench nine times.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays one minute Hack played one minute in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Since the January signing of Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Hack has not been playing regularly. The transfer played 90 minutes during each of Mainz's four games from Jan. 25 to Feb. 11. Meanwhile, Hack barely played more than 10 minutes total during the four-game span.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not injured Hack was not injured and was brought off due to performance concerns, according to manager Bo Svensson. "He wasn't particularly good"

Impact Hack being brought off due to not being very good isn't particularly good news for the defender, though at least he is fully fit. Svensson added that Stefan Bell would likely retain a role in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Frankfurt.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brought off due to injury Hack came off with an apparent injury during the first half of Wednesday's clash with Schalke.

Impact Hack was replaced by Stefan Bell due to the injury, a like-for-like change in central defense. Hack's only chance to return to the first team before the World Cup is a Sunday clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. Bell could see the start Sunday if Hack is unable to return.

Fills stat sheet against Werder Hack created one chance, made four tackles (three won), four clearances and four interceptions, helped his side to keep a clean sheet and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's...

Impact Hack was rock solid at the heart of the defense, posting nice numbers in multiple fantasy categories and being part of a defensive line that kept opposing forwards at bay most of the time. The center-back is one of Mainz's most reliable fantasy performers, being among team leaders in almost any defensive category.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension served Hack will be in contention versus Freiburg on Oct. 1 after having served his one-match suspension.

Impact Hack started all six of his appearances for the club this season, in which he has recorded 17 clearances, 11 tackles (six won) and 10 interceptions along with just one shot (zero on target). While the defender is a near-lock to rejoin the starting XI against Freiburg, he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive upside.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solidifies starting role Hack made 28 appearances (24 starts), scoring three goals during the 2021/22 season.

Impact Hack finally solidified a starting role in the Mainz first team. The defender had so frequently been a rotational part of the team, good for 10-15 appearances in recent years. This was a true breakout for Hack who made 28 appearances and played in over 2,000 minutes for the first time in his career. It was a commendable season and one that should keep Hack in the starting XI for the 2022/23 campaign.

JUNE 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet in win Hack made four interceptions, three clearances and won two of four tackles in Saturday's 4-0 victory against Arminia Bielefeld.

Impact Hack defended well in his return from a yellow card suspension on Saturday as he shut out Arminia. He'll get a week off during the international break before facing 13th-placed Monchengladbach, which have scored 36 goals in 26 Bundesliga matches.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended on Sunday Hack will be suspended for Sunday's clash with Dortmund due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Hack is set to be suspended Sunday, and will fall out of the starting XI for the second time in the 21/22 season due to suspension. The defender has had struggles staying out of the referee's book and will look to improve that in the run-in to the season. Niklas Tauer may move back into a more defensive role with Hack sidelined.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores once in draw Hack had one goal on two shots, one interception, two tackles, three fouls and was fouled twice in the 1-1 draw with SC Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact In the 30th minute, Hack scored a solo goal, the first of the match. While not typically a scorer, the defender has netted three times this season. Perhaps he will get lucky in the next match against Leverkusen.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off in loss Hack was shown a red card during Saturday's 4-1 loss to Leipzig.

Impact Hack will now be sidelined for at least one match with a red card during the first half of Saturday's loss. Hack is an extremely limited fantasy option due to his role and his absence doesn't figure to changed anything for fantasy purposes.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in win Hack scored one goal on two shots (one on target), won one tackle, made one interception, drew two fouls and committed one foul in Tuesday's 4-0 win versus Hertha Berlin.

Impact Hack had a great offensive outing as he found the back of the net to help his side take home all three points. The center-back has now registered two goals in 13 appearances this season. However, he holds little fantasy value outside of racking up defensive stats and being an aerial threat on set piece situations.

Impact Hack found the back of the net in the 38th minute scoring Mainz's lone goal of the match. The goal was the first of the season for the defender while his five clearances led Mainz in the loss.

Makes seven clearances in win Hack had two off-target shots, made two tackles (one won), seven clearances and three blocks, drew five fouls and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 2-1 win over Arminia Bie...

Impact Hack had an outstanding performance at the heart of the defense, having game highs in both clearances and blocks while keeping opposing forwards at bay during most of the match. The centre back looks in great shape after returning from a COVID-19 infection that made him miss a couple of weeks and will try to keep it up during Friday's home match against Monchengladbach.
