Heidenheim loans Luka Janes for another season
1. FC Heidenheim has loaned 22-year-old defender Luka Janes to Regionalliga Nordost side Tasmania Berlin for the 2026/27 season. Janes' contract with Heidenheim runs until summer 2028. The move follows a successful loan spell last season with SG Sonnenhof Großaspach.
Why the loan makes sense for Janes
"Both Luka and we believe that another loan is beneficial for his sporting development," says FCH chairman Holger Sanwald. Janes has yet to make a competitive appearance for Heidenheim's first team. In the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, Heidenheim finished 17th with 26 points from 34 games.
Janes' career path
Born in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Janes joined Heidenheim's youth academy in 2018 and signed a professional contract in 2023. Last season, he gained experience in the Regionalliga Südwest.
What's next?
Janes will now look to gain regular playing time at Tasmania Berlin. Heidenheim hopes for the young defender's successful development.
