Patric Pfeiffer, born on 20 August 1999 (age 27), is a Ghanaian central defender whose career has been shaped most clearly at Darmstadt 98. At a commanding 6ft 5in (1.96m), he brings the obvious physical profile for the position, though his development was not simply a matter of size. Early loan football gave him senior minutes and a harder edge before Darmstadt became the main stage.
It is at Darmstadt that Pfeiffer has put down the substantial part of his record: 117 league appearances and seven league goals across six seasons. His best attacking return came in 2022-23, when he scored four times in 24 league matches, useful production from centre-half without pretending he was suddenly a second striker.
In 2026-27, Pfeiffer has made six league appearances for Darmstadt 98, all in the 2. Bundesliga. His market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.
Pfeiffer’s career to this point is a straightforward one: early loans, then a long Darmstadt spell in which he became an established central defender rather than a passing name on the squad list.
