Maik Nawrocki, a skilled German defender born on 7 February 2001, has established himself as a crucial player for Celtic Football Club. Standing tall at 6 feet 2 inches (1.9m) and maintaining a formidable presence with his weight of 12 stone 3 pounds (78kg), Nawrocki dons the number 17 jersey with pride. At the tender age of 23, his market value hovers around a promising £2.13m, according to information gathered from Transfermarkt. Having settled into Celtic, he finds himself in the midway of his contracting period that is projected to end on 31st May 2028.
Nawrocki launched his football career back in July 2016 as a trainee at SV Werder Bremen II situated in Regionalliga Nord in Germany. Honing his skills, Nawrocki seized the opportunity to shift to Warta Poznań in I Liga in Poland on loan in February 2021. His debut season there (2020-2021), though short, marked his three impactful first-team appearances and his first-ever league goal.
Ploughing his journey forward, in July 2021, Nawrocki negotiated another loan transfer to Legia Warsaw in the Ekstraklasa in Poland. Here, across two playing seasons (2021-2023), the youthful German defender made a total of 44 first-team appearances, boasting five successful goals in league matches. Nawrocki's spell at Legia Warsaw ended in 2023 when his club SV Werder Bremen II sold him to the Polish outfit permanently at a handsome fee of around £1.19m.
July 2023 marked a significant milestone in Nawrocki's professional career as he was signed by Celtic of the Scottish Premiership for approximately £4.3m. His 2023-2024 stint at Celtic saw him making ten appearances in league matches. However, in the ongoing season (2024 - 2025), Nawrocki is yet to sprint onto the pitch for a league encounter. Nevertheless, he has participated in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Celtic-reserving his spot on the field during one of the matches as a substitute.
