Jérôme Gondorf (born 26 June 1988) is a German former professional footballer who played as central midfielder.

Career

Having previously played for Stuttgarter Kickers from 2010 until 2013, Gondorf joined 3. Liga club Darmstadt in 2013 on a two-year contract.[1] With Darmstadt, he achieved back-to-back promotions in 2014 and 2015.[2] In July 2016, he agreed to a contract extension until 2018.[3]

In May 2017, Gondorf signed with Werder Bremen. Werder Bremen reportedly activated a release clause in his contract with Darmstadt by paying a transfer fee of €1.2 million.[2] [4]

In June 2018, SC Freiburg announced Gondorf would join for the 2018–19 season after spending one season at Werder Bremen. The undisclosed transfer fee was estimated at €1.3 million.[5] [6]

On 15 January 2020, Gondorf was loaned out to Karlsruher SC for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[7] Gondorf played 15 games, scored two goals and made two assists, before the club signed him permanently, giving him a contract until the summer 2022.[8] Gondorf was also handed the captains armband, which he took over from David Pisot.[9]

In February 2024 Gondorf announced he would retire in the summer.[10]
