Early life

Frenkert was born in Münster, but grew up in Ochtrup. [1] [2] He attended Städtischen Gymnasium Ochtrup. [3]

Career

Frenkert played as a striker for Arminia Ochtrup's academy before moving to FC Twente at under-13 level. [3] After a spell with Eintracht Rheine's academy, he moved to Preußen Münster's academy in 2014. [4] He joined Münster's first team for the 2020–21 season, and scored 3 in 25 matches in the Regionalliga West. [5] In March 2021, it was announced that Frenkert would transfer to Schalke 04 II in summer 2021 at the end of his contract with Münster. [6] [7] He returned to Preußen Münster a year later, and explained to Reviersport interviewer Krystian Wozniak that he chose to leave Schalke as he was unhappy there. [2]

In August 2023, Frenkert joined 1. FC Bocholt on a season-long loan. [8] He made 29 Regionalliga West appearances for the club across the 2023–24 season. [9] Upon his return to Münster, who were now in the 2. Bundesliga, he established himself as a regular first team player in the 2024–25 season, [10] starting every league match for the club prior to the winter break and making 25 league appearances in total. [11]

On 8 June 2025, Frenkert signed a two-season contract with Eintracht Braunschweig. [12]

Style of play

Frenkert was described as an all-rounder early in his career; he played as a striker for Arminia Ochtrup's academy but by the 2018–19 season, he was playing as a right midfielder in the Under 19 Bundesliga. [3] When he came into the first team at Preußen Münster, he was playing primarily as a right back, [7] and later became a central defender during the 2024–25 season. [10]
