⚔️ NEW WARRIOR: DANIELE REICH ⚔️

The Winterthur Warriors are excited to welcome WR Daniele Reich to our First Team.

The 23 year old Winterthur native joins us from the Zurich Renegades and adds another exciting playmaker to our receiving corps.

At 186 cm and 86 kg, Daniele combines athleticism with football IQ. He is a great route runner with the ability to create separation and make difficult contested catches.

Despite playing football for only 2.5 years, Daniele has already taken major steps in his development. Alongside his time with the Zurich Renegades, he earned a spot on the Swiss Flag Football National Team 🇨🇭

Now, Daniele is ready for the next chapter of his football journey in his hometown of Winterthur.

💬 “I love what the Warriors are building on and off the field and I want to be part of that. I want to get better, benefit from the amazing coaching and take the next step in my development. Can’t wait to get started!”

Welcome to the Warriors, Daniele! ⚔️🏈

🇨🇭🏈🇺🇸 BUILDING BRIDGES THROUGH FOOTBALL | WARRIORS x ARLINGTON

Football has always been about more than what happens on the field. It is about community, development, education and creating opportunities for the next generation.

During our visit to Washington, Warriors President Pascal Hollenstein and our Head of Coaching & Development Max Gray had the opportunity to meet with representatives of Arlington High School and discuss how we can build a strong connection between our football programs.

For Max, this was also a special return to his roots. Before bringing his experience and football knowledge to Switzerland, he was a student and athlete at Arlington High School. Today, he is helping shape the future of the Warriors and connecting the two football communities that have played an important role in his journey.

We discussed exciting opportunities for the future, including:

🏈 Coaching exchanges between Switzerland and Washington
📚 Sharing football knowledge
🎓 Learning from each other’s youth and athlete development programs
🇺🇸🇨🇭 Opportunities for coaches and players to experience football in another country
🏫 Exploring potential educational and student exchange opportunities in the future
💪 Joint camps, clinics and development programs
🌎 Creating international connections through sport and education

Some of these ideas are still at an early stage, but the potential is exciting.

Our goal is to give our athletes and coaches access to new experiences, new knowledge and opportunities that go far beyond our own football field.

From Washington to Winterthur, two football communities separated by thousands of kilometres can learn from each other, grow together and create something special.

This is what building the future of the Warriors looks like.

🏈 WELCOME BACK HOME, JACK!🏈

We’re excited to announce our first signing for the 2027 Season and the return of Joel “Jack” Muntwyler to the Warriors First Team.

Jack’s football journey started right here in Winterthur. After developing through our Juniors and making the step into the First Team, his journey took him beyond Switzerland:

🏈 2014–2019 | Winterthur Warriors
🇨🇭 2016–2019 | Swiss National Team
🇪🇺 2017 | Europe Warriors
🇺🇸 2020–2022 | Santa Barbara City College
🛡️ 2023 | Helvetic Guards

After stepping away from football and spending some time in the boxing ring, Jack is ready to put the pads back on and return to where it all started.

With international experience, college football in the US and a Warriors background, we’re excited to have Jack back in Red.

Once a Warrior, always a Warrior. ⚔️🔥

Welcome home, Jack!

TWO TEAMS. ONE FAMILY. ONE GOAL. 🏈🤝

Sieben unserer U19 Spieler werden diesen Herbst für die Zurich State Spartans in der NLC Saison auflaufen und dabei wertvolle Spielpraxis auf Erwachsenenlevel sammeln. Zusätzlich wird auch ein vielversprechender Prospect aus unserem First Team die Spartans verstärken.

Die Zusammenarbeit ist ein wichtiger Teil unseres Development Pathways: Unsere Junioren erhalten bereits vor ihrem Schritt ins First Team echte Spielerfahrung im Erwachsenenfootball und können sich so optimal auf ihre erste NLA Saison 2027 mit den Warriors vorbereiten. 💪

Gleichzeitig wollen wir die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Winterthur Warriors und den Zurich State Spartans weiter stärken und unsere beiden Vereine noch näher zusammenbringen.

Vielen Dank an die Spartans für die starke Zusammenarbeit und viel Erfolg an unsere acht Warriors für die Herbstsaison! ❤️💛🖤
