Löffelsend appeared in 51 matches for RSL in two years with the club.
In 2765 minutes, Löffelsend recorded two goals and seven assists.
After playing over 1600 minutes in 2022, Löffelsend’s role diminished last season. Additions to the roster meant fewer opportunities for the German footballer.
Thank you for your contributions on and off the field, Jasper ❤️
