Kerry FC are delighted to announce the signing of Goalkeeper Tim-Oliver Hiemer from Finn Harps ahead of the 2025 SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division season.
The 30-year-old German shot-stopper arrives in Mounthawk Park as Conor McCarthy’s tenth addition to his first-team squad. Tim-Oliver carries a wealth of experience between the sticks, playing the last 2 seasons with First Division outfit Finn Harps in Donegal. Hiemer made 45 appearances for the North Westerners over the last two campaigns, keeping 13 clean sheets during his time in Donegal. Previous to his time in Ballybofey, Tim-Oliver Hiemer was on the books at Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach, mainly playing underage and reserve team football. Tim-Oliver also was part of the Nike Academy back in 2016.
Speaking after his move from Donegal to the Kingdom, Tim-Oliver Hiemer told kerryfc.com, “I am very happy to be here, the vision of the manager and the club interested me and I’m excited to be a part of this project!”
Also speaking to kerryfc.com after Tim-Oliver’s signing, First Team Manager Conor McCarthy said “We are delighted to have Tim-Oliver in with us for the new season. We could see from his games against us that he is a top-quality goalkeeper and it’s great to have someone of his calibre in the squad for the season ahead. We’ve got 3 very strong goalkeepers signed up now and all competing in training. I’m looking forward to seeing Tim-Oliver’s addition to the group and I’ve no doubt he will play a key role for us in 2025.”
