Club career

Borussia Mönchengladbach

Mayer started playing football in Schalke 04's academy before signing with VfL Bochum in 2014, where he scored once in 26 appearances in the Under 17 Bundesliga and then 22 appearances in the Under 19 Bundesliga. [3] In 2016, he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach's under-19s, and from the 2017–18 season on, he predominantly played for Borussia's under-23s. [4]

He first appeared in the first-team squad in the Rhineland derby between 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach on 14 January 2018, remaining on the bench in his team's 2–1 defeat. [5] Mayer made his professional debut on 1 April 2018 in the Bundesliga game against Mainz 05, coming on as a substitute for the injured Nico Elvedi in the 72nd minute. [6] Several serious injuries set the centre-back back, including two cruciate ligament ruptures. [7]

On 1 June 2018, Mayer signed his first professional contract with Mönchengladbach. [8]

Roda JC

Prior to the 2021–22 campaign, Mayer moved to the Netherlands on a free transfer to second-division club Roda JC, signing a one-year deal until 2022. [9] Shortly after signing, he suffered a serious injury in practice, sidelining him for the entire season. [10]

Mayer made his competitive debut for Roda on 5 August 2022, the first matchday of the 2022–23 season, replacing Bryan Limbombe in the 91st minute of a 2–0 away victory against Dordrecht at the Krommedijk. [11] [12]

1. FC Bocholt

On 23 May 2023, Mayer signed a one-year contract with Regionalliga West club 1. FC Bocholt. [13] Upon signing, new Bocholt manager Dietmar Hirsch expressed his pleasure with the signing: "With Florian, we gain a highly trained, physically strong centre-back. He made a name for himself at Borussia Mönchengladbach but was unfortunately hindered by injuries. However, he has been fit for over a year now and has demonstrated his excellence in the second-tier Dutch league. Flo will be a valuable asset to us both on and off the field, adding stability to our defense. I'm certain that he will bring us a lot of joy." [14]

Mayer made his debut for the club on 29 July, the first matchday of the season, replacing an injured Jarno Janssen in the 36th minute of a 5–2 away victory against Schalke 04 II. [15] [16]

International career

Mayer is a former Germany youth international, having made one appearance each for the national under-19 and under-20 teams. [17]
