D. Starodid

Daniel Starodid moved through the German youth system without a single senior appearance to show for it, until a free transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt's second team in July 2023 put him in the Regionalliga Südwest. Two seasons on, in 2024/2025, he scored five goals in just six appearances for that reserve side.

In 2025/2026, playing in the Hessenliga, Starodid scored 19 goals and added eight assists in 29 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt II. Across his career to that point he had accumulated 46 goals and seven assists in 137 matches.

That form earned him a move to Alemannia Aachen, announced on 5 May 2026 as the club's first signing for the new season — a free transfer, with a contract running to 30 June 2028. He joined officially on 1 July 2026. The switch took him from the fifth tier to 3. Liga football. By the end of August 2026, he had posted an MVP value of 89 percent for Aachen in the division.

Before any of that, his path had run through Kickers Offenbach's under-19 side, where he made six U19 Bundesliga appearances, and then Eintracht Frankfurt's own youth setup, where he scored four goals in the U19 Bundesliga South/Southwest and featured twice in the UEFA Youth League. He has not been capped at senior or youth international level.
