"We are extremely pleased to add Alex to our roster for the 2012 season," Koch said. "He has tremendous physical attributes and will continue the strong tradition of left-footed players at AUM. He comes from a strong German soccer family, as his father, Frank Neubarth, played 317 times for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga (First Division). Alex is technically and tactically well education and will be a tremendous asset to our team."
