Maik Nawrocki, born on 7th February 2001 in Germany, is a defensive asset who currently serves as a central defender for Celtic. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing 12st 3lb (78kg), Nawrocki presents a formidable presence on the pitch. This robust German currently sports the number 17 jersey for the Bhoys.

With a market value approximating €2.00m, which translates to around £1.7m, Nawrocki remains a valuable football property, as pointed out by the Transfermarkt site (source). His contract with Celtic, still possessing a duration of about three years and a month, is set to run its course by 31st May 2028.

Nawrocki cut his teeth in football with SV Werder Bremen II in July 2016, playing in Germany's Regionalliga Nord as a trainee. His career took a detour in February 2021, when he transferred to Warta Poznań in Poland's I Liga, on a loan arrangement. Despite being his debut season at Warta Poznań, Nawrocki managed to make a mark by appearing thrice in the first team and even netting a goal.

Nawrocki's journey continued when he transferred to Legia Warsaw in Poland's Ekstraklasa, again on loan, in July 2021. During the 2021-2022 season, he had 19 first-team appearances and managed to score a goal. This performance continued into the 2022-2023 season, with 25 appearances and four goals to his name. This promising record led to a permanent transfer to Legia Warsaw, commanding a transfer fee of around £1.2m (€1.4m).

In July 2023, Nawrocki's career took a significant turning point when he transferred from Legia Warsaw to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, for a whopping fee of about £4.3m. His first season as a Celt saw him make ten appearances in league matches. This current season, Nawrocki has already made it onto the pitch three times and managed to score a goal.

Nawrocki's time at Celtic is not limited to league matches. He has also participated in the League Cup 2024-2025 and the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, appearing as a substitute in each competition once.

Overall, despite still being in his early twenties, Nawrocki's journey in professional football has been quite eventful, and there's certainly a lot more to look forward to from him, particularly with his current tenure at Celtic.
