Daniel Hanslik

Daniel Hanslik (born 6 October 1996) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for club VfL Bochum.

Club career Youth career Hanslik grew up in the northeast of Hesse and was trained in football from the age of four at the local clubs SV Unterhaun, SV Steinbach and JFV Bad Hersfeld, where he mainly played in defense. At Bad Hersfeld and Steinbach, Hanslik, who was initially used in midfield in addition to the attack, had his first experiences in the men's division in the sixth class Verbandsliga Hessen and in the Hessenliga. As a result, Hanslik even played for Arsenal, but was not signed for the club's youth teams.

First experiences in the Regionalliga Scoring 33 goals in 64 competitive games for both clubs, VfL Wolfsburg became aware of the attacker and signed him in the summer of 2017. Hanslik's advisor at the time, Kujtim Mustafi, father of the German national player Shkodran Mustafi, arranged the contact to the club. During the second half of the season, Hanslik made 17 appearances (three goals) in Rostock and one in the 2019–20 Verbandspokal.

On 5 October 2020, Hanslik was loaned out again, this time to fellow 3. Liga club 1. FC Kaiserslautern until the end of the 2020–21 season. Hanslik scored the winning goal for Kaiserslautern in their promotion playoff against Dynamo Dresden, helping the team to earn promotion to the 2. Bundesliga for the first time since 2018.

On 28 May 2026, Hanslik moved to VfL Bochum.
