Jannik Huth

Jannik Huth (born 15 April 1994) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for club SC Freiburg.

Club career Mainz 05 Born in Bad Kreuznach, Huth grew up in nearby Guldental and started playing football with local clubs SG Guldental and Hassia Bingen.

Subsequently, he joined the youth ranks of Mainz 05 and eventually made it to their second team squad. He made his 3. Liga debut with Mainz 05 II at 5 October 2014 against Holstein Kiel.

In January 2018, Huth joined Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam on loan until the end of the season.

SC Paderborn In May 2019, Huth joined newly promoted Bundesliga club SC Paderborn on a three-year contract, effective 1 July. He was expected to compete with Leopold Zingerle for the starting goalkeeper position. Huth began the season as Paderborn's first-choice goalkeeper due to Zingerle recovering from a shoulder injury sustained the previous season. However, after Zingerle's return, Huth was relegated to a backup role.

Following Paderborn's relegation to the 2. Bundesliga, Huth became the club's starting goalkeeper for the 2021–22 season. He held the position for more than two seasons before losing his place to Pelle Boevink midway through the 2023–24 campaign. He made 91 appearances for the club. There, he was set to become the third goalkeeper behind Noah Atubolu and Florian Müller.

International career In late August 2015, Huth received his first ever call for a Germany youth team. He was nominated as a replacement for Odisseas Vlachodimos in the under-21 team.

He was part of the squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics, where Germany won the silver medal.
