Maik Nawrocki, born 7 February 2001 in Germany and currently aged 24, is a defensive stalwart who primarily operates as a central defender for Hannover 96. Standing at an imposing 6ft 2in (1.9m) and tipping the scale at 12st 3lb (78kg), Nawrocki can be seen patrolling the field in his number 6 jersey.
As per the comprehensive player database Transfermarkt, it is estimated that his current market value stands in the region of £1.7m.
As a budding talent in July 2016, Nawrocki began honing his skills with SV Werder Bremen II in Germany's Regionalliga Nord, gaining vital experience as a trainee.
In February 2021, he proceeded to experience a different footballing vista as he was loaned out to Warta Poznań in Poland's I Liga. During his debut season (2020-2021) with the club, he made three first team appearances and scored one league goal.
Nawrocki's journey of development continued in July 2021 when he joined the ranks of Legia Warsaw in the Ekstraklasa, again on loan. His record showed a steady improvement, with him making 19 first team appearances and netting one goal in his first 2021-2022 season, followed by 25 appearances and four goals in the 2022-2023 season. This performance was enough for Legia Warsaw to secure his services for approximately £1.2m.
In July 2023, Nawrocki's journey took him to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, costing the Glasgow giants a substantial £4.3m. Here, his tenure spanned two seasons, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025; during which time Nawrocki made a total of 13 first team appearances and managed to score once.
Nawrocki departed the green half of Glasgow in July 2025 to undertake another loan spell, this time with German outfit Hannover 96 in the 2. Bundesliga. The current 2025-2026 season has seen him contribute in two league matches for the club thus far.
