The 23-year-old’s return marks the homecoming of one of the biggest talents that the district of Landsberg has produced in recent years. Jais – born in Landsberg in 1993 – passed through all of the TSV 1860 Munich youth teams and played in the Lions Regionalliga (Regional League) team for three years. He was also nominated for the Munich senior squad twice.
In 2014, Jais moved to Wacker Burghausen and most recently he played in attack for TSV Steinbach in the Regionalliga Südwest (Regional League Southwest). Despite his young age, this takes the striker to a total of 125 Regionalliga games (23 goals) already, as well as two U19 internationals.
Those responsible for the football department have been in regular contact with Daniel Jais and his father Roland for a long time. This allowed them to register an early interest when it became clear that the striker would terminate his contract with the team from Steinbach, Hesse, for sporting and personal reasons, and wanted to head home.
Jais, who rejected several offers from other clubs, is being hired as a contract amateur at TSV Landsberg. "We are delighted to bring such a high-profile player to Landsberg, Daniel will certainly provide the required boost to our attack. Without the extensive extra support from our main sponsor 3C, this commitment would not have been possible," says Hanns Haedenkamp, Principle Chairman of TSV Landsberg. 3C Managing Director, Karsten Jerschke, sees the cooperation in the transfer of Daniel Jais as a further step in the direction of a promising partnership between team and sponsor. "We had announced our intention to breathe life into our contract. Now we can put this pledge into action without delay."
