Maik Nawrocki, who was born in Germany on 7th February 2001 (currently 24 years old), is a rigid, central defender commanded by Celtic. Showcasing the impressive figure of 6ft 2in (1.9m), he matches the physical demands of the Scottish game. Weighing in at a sturdy 12st 3lb (78kg), Nawrocki has proved to be a vital presence in the heart of defence, donning the number 17 jersey during the fiery battles in the Premiership.

A Transfermarkt report placed his estimated market worth at around €2.00m, a figure that converts to a rough estimate of £1.7m. With his current Celtic contract slated to expire on 31st May 2028, Nawrocki has a future at Celtic Park for another 3 years and 2 months, at the very least.

Nawrocki set off his football journey in July 2016, joining SV Werder Bremen II in Germany's Regionalliga Nord as a trainee. After honing his skills, he shifted to Warta Poznań of the I Liga in Poland in February 2021 through a loan agreement. Nawrocki marked his debut season (2020-2021) there by making three first team appearances and even netting in a goal.

Nawrocki's subsequent move to another Polish side, Legia Warsaw, occurred in July 2021. This loan period was also a success as he accumulated 19 appearances and scored a goal in the 2021-2022 season. He cemented his place in the side the following season (2022-2023) with 25 appearances and an impressive return of four goals.

Legia Warsaw decided to make the move permanent in July 2022 by snapping him up for a fee of about £1.4m. Nawrocki had managed to deliver consistent performances for them in the Ekstraklasa League.

Then came a defining moment in July 2023 when Nawrocki transitioned from Poland's Ekstraklasa to Scotland's Premiership. He transferred to Celtic for a substantial fee of about £4.3m. Despite this being a significant financial commitment from the Bhoys, Nawrocki has been repaying their faith. During his first season, 2023-2024, he made ten first team appearances. He has already made two appearances in the current 2024-2025 season.

Aside from featuring in Premiership matches, Nawrocki also had the opportunity to prove his worth in two of Scotland's major domestic cups. For Celtic, he made a substitute appearance in both the League Cup and the Scottish Cup during the 2024-2025 season.
