Johannes Wurtz (born 19 June 1992) is a German professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or forward for 3. Liga club SC Freiburg II. ^{[2] [3]}

Career

Wurtz came through 1. FC Saarbrücken's youth setup, and made his first-team debut in July 2011, when he replaced Ufuk Özbek in a DFB-Pokal match against Erzgebirge Aue. He joined Bundesliga club Werder Bremen in July 2012. A year later he joined 2. Bundesliga side SC Paderborn, on loan.

On 14 April 2014, SC Paderborn announced that Wurtz would transfer to Greuther Fürth for next season and that he would be left out of the squad for Paderborn's match against Greuther Fürth, who competed with Paderborn for promotion to the Bundesliga, six days later. ^[4] Although he was taken back in the squad afterwards he only played five minutes at one substitution in the remaining three matches of the season. At the end of the season Paderborn was promoted and Fürth stayed in the 2. Bundesliga.

At Greuther Fürth Wurtz signed a three-year contract expiring June 2017. ^[4] Werder Bremen, which still held the transfer rights, received a transfer free of reportedly €250,000 and secured a repurchase option. ^[5]

In August 2018, Wurtz joined 2. Bundesliga side Darmstadt 98 from league rivals VfL Bochum on a three-year contract. ^[6]

He moved to SV Wehen Wiesbaden on a one-year contract in August 2020. ^[7]

After a short stint in Finland with FC Honka in 2023, Wurtz returned to Germany and signed with SC Freiburg II on 3 January 2024 on a short contract. ^[8]
