Lennart Grill (born 25 January 1999) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eliteserien club SK Brann on loan from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.

Club career[]

In January 2019, 1. FC Kaiserslautern manager Sascha Hildmann confirmed that Grill would be the starting goalkeeper for the club over Wolfgang Hesl in the second half of the 2018–19 season.[1] He made his debut for Kaiserslautern in the 3. Liga on 26 January 2019, starting in the home match against Sonnenhof Großaspach, which finished as a 2–0 win.[2]

Bayer Leverkusen[]

On 8 March 2019, it was announced that Grill would sign for Bayer Leverkusen starting from the 2020–21 Bundesliga season on a four-year deal.[3] Grill made his debut for the team on 28 February 2021, by playing the full 90-minutes in a 1–2 home loss to SC Freiburg, when Lukáš Hrádecký continues to recover from the achilles tendon problems.

International career[]

Grill was included in Germany's squad for the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Azerbaijan.[4] The team managed to reach the semi-finals, before losing 1–2 against Spain. Grill made his only appearance of the tournament in the match against Spain, coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute following a red card for starting goalkeeper Jan-Christoph Bartels.[5]
