Jenz’s transfer was completed on 8 September 2026, ending his time with Wolfsburg and beginning his spell in Switzerland. The defender moves from a club listed in Germany’s 2. Bundesliga to Young Boys, who compete in the country’s top flight.

The switch represents a move across national borders for Jenz, who holds German and Nigerian nationality. His position as a centre-back places him in a defensive role at Young Boys, while his age means he arrives as an established senior player rather than a youth prospect.

Jenz’s listed market value at the time of the move was €5m. No transfer fee has been disclosed for the deal, and no contract length has been provided.

The move gives Young Boys a new central defender for their Super League squad and brings Jenz into Swiss football after his previous period in Germany. His arrival also marks a change in league level, with the player moving from Wolfsburg’s 2. Bundesliga setting to the Swiss top division.

Jenz’s profile is defined by his defensive position and his experience of playing in Germany before making the switch. At 27, he joins Young Boys during a mature stage of his career, with the transfer completed on 8 September.

Young Boys have therefore added Jenz to their squad for the Super League campaign, while Wolfsburg lose the Germany-and-Nigeria international centre-back from their group. The move is completed, with Jenz now a Young Boys player.
