Danny Schmidt

Danny Schmidt’s clearest senior marker so far came with Mainz 05 II in 2023–24, when he scored 13 league goals in 31 appearances. It was his most productive league season, and a useful sign of a player capable of carrying a regular scoring load at that level.

His form this season has been solid and consistent, which is about as much as should be asked of a developing professional without dressing it up. Schmidt’s career to date is still a compact one: a productive spell at Mainz 05 II, followed by steady recent performances as he continues to build his record.
