Maik Nawrocki was born on 7 February 2001, making him 25 years old. He hails from Germany and occupies the role of a central defender for his club, Hannover 96. The defender stands tall on the pitch at 6 feet 2 inches (1.9 metres) and weighs in at 12 stone 3 pounds (78 kilograms). He dons the number 6 jersey.
The estimated market value for Nawrocki is around £1.27m, as stated by Transfermarkt.
Nawrocki's football career began in earnest in July 2016, when he joined SV Werder Bremen II in Germany's Regionalliga Nord as a trainee. His time with the German team came to an end in February 2021 when he made the move to Warta Poznań in the I Liga in Poland, on a loan arrangement. During his debut season with Warta Poznań, he made three first team appearances and managed to find the back of the net once.
In July 2021, Nawrocki transferred from SV Werder Bremen II to Legia Warsaw in Poland's Ekstraklasa. This second loan move saw him stepping up his game, with 19 first team appearances and one league goal wrapped up in his first season with the Polish team. In the following season, he upped his tally to 25 appearances and four goals.
The successful stint with Legia Warsaw paved the way for a full transfer in July 2022. He cemented his spot in the team with the similar performance from the previous season, proving his £1.4m transfer fee.
In July 2023, a new chapter in Nawrocki's career opened with a move to the bank of the River Clyde, joining Celtic in the Scottish Premiership in a deal worth £4.3m. In the green and white hoops of Celtic, he made ten appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season, before adding three more to his total and a goal the following season.
Nawrocki's tenure at Celtic was cut short, as the defender was loaned out to Hannover 96 in Germany's 2. Bundesliga in July 2025. In the ongoing season with Hannover 96, he has already made 15 first-team appearances and scored two goals.
Despite his nomadic journey across Europe, Celtic supporters remember Nawrocki for his time in Celtic Park. His engagements on the pitch during the 2023 - 2024 and 2024 - 2025 seasons, albeit short, were nevertheless significant. His adeptness at commanding the backline and his sole goal will forever be etched in the minds of the faithful.
