Benjamin Heymann: Germany-Guinea winger joins Doxa Katokopia on free transfer

Germany-Guinea winger Benjamin Heymann has joined Cypriot side Doxa Katokopia from Berlin Turkspor on a free transfer, completing a move from Berlin-Liga football to the country’s second tier.

The 22-year-old right winger joined Doxa Katokopia on 2 September 2026 and has signed a contract running until 31 May 2027. He becomes part of a club competing in the 2. Division, having previously played in Germany’s regional Berlin-Liga.

Heymann began the 2026-27 season with Berlin Turkspor but did not make an appearance before moving to Cyprus. He had joined the Berlin club from Polar Pinguin in August 2025, also on a free transfer.

Born in Berlin on 15 February 2004, Heymann stands 1.78m tall and is comfortable using either foot. His main position is on the right side of the attack, giving Doxa Katokopia a wide forward who can operate from either flank.

His move follows a series of transfers through Berlin football. Before joining Polar Pinguin, Heymann played for Wilmersdorf II, having previously been with FC Wilmersdorf. He also spent time at SC Staaken II and SC Staaken Under-19s earlier in his career.

The winger’s most recent competitive football came in the Berlin-Liga and the Landespokal Berlin. He was not involved in Berlin Turkspor’s first two possible league matches of the 2026-27 campaign, nor in their listed cup fixture, before leaving for Cyprus.

Doxa Katokopia have therefore added a player with experience in the German regional game as Heymann begins a new chapter outside Germany. The transfer also represents his first recorded move to a club competing in Cyprus, with his previous career transfers all taking place between German sides.

Heymann’s arrival was completed without a transfer fee, and his agreement with Doxa Katokopia is in place through the end of May 2027.
