Degen has signed a three-year contract with the Berne-based side, who are 4-1 up following the first leg of their UEFA Cup second qualifying round tie against Debreceni VSC ahead of the second leg next Thursday. Capped nine times, Degen played alongside his twin brother Philipp at FC Basel 1893 before heading for Mönchengladbach in 2006. He returned to St. Jakob-Park on loan last season as Basel pipped Young Boys to the Swiss title.
