Equipped with nimble feet and an unsparing tenacity, Moritz Bauer burst onto the football scene on 25th January 1992 in Switzerland. This right-back defender, standing at 5ft 11in (1.81m) and tipping the scales at 11st 6lb (73kg), carved out a reputable career bedecked with formidable talent and unwavering dedication.
Bauer's career took flight in July 2010 when he joined Grasshoppers, a team in the Super League in Switzerland. Over his six seasons with the team, he made consistent appearances, culminating in a particularly sterling 2015-16 season where he contributed his skills to the team in 33 league matches.
The Swiss defender then sought pastures anew, moving from his homeland to Russia's premier league where he played for Rubin Kazan from July 2016 to January 2018. The terms of the transfer were undisclosed. Bauer, in his two seasons in Russia, delivered steady and reliable performances with a total of 37 first-team appearances.
In January 2018, Bauer transferred to Stoke City in the England Championship for a sum touching upon ÂŁ5m. His time at Stoke City was characterised by two distinct seasons; he played in 15 league matches in his first season of 2017-18 and 8 matches during the 2018-19 season.
August 2019 saw Bauer making a move to the Scottish Premiership, going out on loan to none other than Celtic FC. In the 2019-2020 season, Bauer, while not a mainstay, made nine first-team appearances.
The defender's sojourn at Celtic ended in July 2020 as he returned to Stoke City upon the completion of his loan. However, his time at England was short-lived, and in February 2021, Bauer made another move, this time landing a loan deal at Ufa in Russia's National League.
In July 2021, Bauer's loan was made permanent, and he continued his tenure at Ufa where he consistently contributed to their league matches, before making a return to his homeland in January 2022 to play for Servette in the Super League.
The most recent update on Bauer's career reveals a transfer in June 2023 from Servette to an undisclosed club.
