Sporting Director Manuel Ortlechner: "Cristiano has made a good impression in training at our partner club SV Stripfing in recent months. We are convinced that he has good skills and can help us in the squad. He is a flexible attacking player with strengths in one-on-one situations. We will also give him the time he needs to settle in."
