SC Paderborn 07 announced on July 5 2026 that forward Marco Wörner has been loaned to SSV Jahn Regensburg for the season. The 23‑year‑old striker will stay at Regensburg until June 30 2027, with no transfer fee, to gain regular minutes.

Why was Wörner loaned out?

Coach Stefan Krämer wanted more playing time for the young attacker, as he had only sporadic appearances recently. In Paderborn's current lineup there is strong competition from Robert Leipertz and new signing Janik Bachmann. The move aims to let Wörner sharpen his scoring touch while easing the squad depth for SC Paderborn.

How does this affect squad planning?

With Wörner's departure the attacking bench becomes thinner, but the management plans to sign another striker in the summer window. At the same time the youth department will be given a larger role – captain Kerem Yalcin returns after his U21 season and could fill the gap in the coming months.

What does this mean for the current campaign?

SC Paderborn 07 currently sits 3rd in the 2. Bundesliga with 62 points after 34 games (18 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses). The team has recorded 3 wins and 2 draws in its last five matches, most recently a 2‑1 victory over VfL Wolfsburg on May 25 2026. With 59 goals scored and 45 conceded, the club enjoys a +14 goal difference and trails league leaders FC Schalke 04 by eight points. Losing Wörner may slightly blunt the attack, but the recent form (WWDDW) still offers room for positive progress.

What does Regensburg expect?

SSV Jahn Regensburg hopes Wörner adds more firepower up front. The club is pushing for promotion and needs fresh offensive options. Wörner's 2. Bundesliga experience should help the team win upcoming fixtures and solidify a mid‑table position.

Both clubs have confirmed the loan on their official channels, and contract details are available on their websites. Fans can follow Wörner's progress via SC Paderborn's WhatsApp news service.
