Florian Mayer (born 4 March 1998) is a German professional footballer who plays as a defender for Eerste Divisie club Roda JC.[1]
Career[]
Mayer started playing football in the youth of FC Schalke 04 and moved to VfL Bochum in 2014, for whom he played 26 games (1 goal) in the B-Junioren Bundesliga West and then 22 games in the A-Junioren Bundesliga West. In 2016, he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach's U19s, and since the 2017/18 season, he has been predominantly used in Borussia's U23s.
He made his first appearance in the professional squad for the Rhineland derby between 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach on 14 January 2018. However, the central defender did not yet make an appearance in his team's 2-1 defeat. Florian Mayer made his first league debut on 1 April 2018 (matchday 28). In the match against FSV Mainz 05, he was substituted for the injured Nico Elvedi in the 72nd minute of the match, but did not make more than one appearance for the licensed team. Several serious injuries set the centre-back back, including two cruciate ligament ruptures.
For the 2021/22 season, Mayer moved to the Netherlands on a free transfer to second-division club Roda JC Kerkrade at the end of his contract, signing a contract that runs until 30 June 2022.[2]
