Doron Leidner (Hebrew: דורון ליידנר; born 26 April 2002) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a left wing-back for Swiss Super League club Zürich and the Israel national team.
Leidner was born and raised in Rishon LeZion, Israel, to an Israeli family of Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian-Jewish) descent.[1] [2] [3] [4]
He also holds a Romanian passport, on account of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.[5]
On 29 July 2022, Leidner signed a four-year deal with Greek club Olympiacos for a fee of €2 million.[6] On 18 January 2023, Leidner was loaned to Austrian Bundesliga side Austria Wien until the end of the season.[7] On 28 May 2023, Leidner picked up an injury in a 3–1 league defeat to LASK. On 2 June, it was reported that he had torn his cruciate ligament and would return to Athens to undergo surgery.[8]
He also plays for Israel's U-21 since 2021.
Leidner was first called-up to the Israeli senior side on 5 November 2021.[9] He made his senior debut with the Israel national team on 2 June 2022, opening in a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League match against Iceland that ended in a 2–2 home draw, where Leidner assisted the second equalizing goal in the 84th minute.[10]
