FC Heidenheim, who have enjoyed an equally successful season as promoted Bundesliga side and can dream of reaching the qualifying round of the Conference League. The club from Heidenheim have signed the attacker, who was tied to Ulm until the summer of 2025, until 30 June 2027

Scienza said he was flattered by the interest from Heidenheim. “As a player, you simply strive to constantly develop yourself both athletically and personally. I want to prove myself on a new footballing level with FCH,” he admits openly: “Being able to play in the Bundesliga is something very special that I’m really looking forward to. “
