His club is the formidable VfB Stuttgart and he carries the number 29 on his chest.
Jeltsch stands tall at 6 feet (1.85m) and carries a weight of 12 stone 3 pounds (78kg), making him a reliable bulwark in defence. Whether it's an aerial challenge or a physical tussle, this lad is known to hold his ground.
