Jonathan Klinsmann – son of Germany legend Jurgen – has signed a professional contract with Hertha Berlin following a successful trial.

The 20-year-old goalkeeper, who has German and American citizenship, has featured for USA Under-20s and previously played for college side the California Golden Bears.

He has been training with the Bundesliga club since last month and was informed on Tuesday by Hertha general manager Michael Preetz that he would be offered a deal.

Klinsmann’s father, who was sacked as USA coach in November, has been a Hertha member since 2004, while his grandfather was a supporter of the club.
