Hashemian changes Bundesliga locations

Hannover - Striker Vahid Hashemian is leaving Bayern Munich after signing a three-year contract with Hannover on Thursday.

The Iranian international hopes a new address in the Bundesliga will get his career back on track. He struggled with Bayern Munich since arriving there last summer from Bochum.

The 28-year-old failed to find the back of the net in nine league matches in addition to a pair of Champions League games. Hashemian's sole goal in a Bayern uniform came in a 7-0 German Cup quarterfinal win over Freiburg.

During the 2002/03 season, Hashemian netted 16 goals in Bundesliga play for Bochum.
