Maik Nawrocki, born on 7th February 2001, is a German footballer who currently serves as a central defender for Hannover 96. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing 12st 3lb (78kg), Nawrocki sports jersey number 6 on the field. Transfermarkt pegs his market value at approximately £1.7m, with his contract set to run out on 30th June 2026.

Nawrocki's professional football career began with SV Werder Bremen II, where he joined as a trainee in July 2016. In 2021, he was loaned to Polish football club Warta Poznań and made an impressive debut, appearing three times in first-team matches and netting one goal. Later that year, Nawrocki transferred to Ekstraklasa team, Legia Warsaw.

At Legia Warsaw, Nawrocki made significant strides in his career. Throughout 2021-2022, he played 19 matches, scoring one goal, for the first team. The following season saw him in fine form, displaying his prowess in 25 matches and scoring four goals. His dedicated performance caught the eye of Celtic scouts, leading to a startling transfer fee of £4.3m in July 2023.

In Scotland with Celtic, Nawrocki made ten first team appearances during the 2023-2024 season. The next year, though he only played three times for Celtic, he still managed to contribute to the scoreboard with a goal. However, his contributions to the club seemed to plateau as he struggled to secure a prominent place within the first team. The resultant dip in form led him to return to Germany.

Nawrocki secured a loan to Hannover 96 in the Bundesliga in July 2025. His current season at Hannover 96 seems to be off to a rocky start, as he has yet to make a first-team appearance.

Despite these prospects, Maik Nawrocki remains a dedicated player, his stint at Celtic serving as an important milestone in his career. In the fluctuating landscape of football where fortunes can turn overnight, Nawrocki’s story continues to unfold, with the heart and spirit of our beloved sport pulsing at its core.
