BERLIN — Hertha Berlin has signed midfielder Mitchell Weiser from Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich.

Hertha, which finished 15th in the Bundesliga last season, says Weiser signed a three-year contract on Thursday.

The 21-year-old arrived in Bayern from Cologne in 2012 and scored one goal in 16 Bundesliga appearances. He caught attention in a few games at the end of the last season but it was not enough for Bayern to keep him.
