Thomas Dähne (* 4 January 1994 in Oberaudorf) is a German football goalkeeper. He has been under contract with Holstein Kiel since July 2020.

Career

Associations

Dähne started playing football at FV Oberaudorf, where Bastian Schweinsteiger, among others, also began his career. He then moved to the youth section of TSV 1860 Rosenheim before moving to Austria to join FC Red Bull Salzburg in 2007. There he played in all youth teams until 2010, before he was called up to the second team, the Red Bull Juniors.
After two seasons with the Juniors, he was promoted to third goalkeeper of the first team in the summer of 2012 and at the same time was the number one in the box of FC Liefering, the satellite club of the Mozartstädter, as a cooperation player. With FC Liefering he became champion of the Regionalliga West.

On 26 May 2013, due to injuries to Alexander Walke and Eddie Gustafsson, he made his debut in the Bundesliga for FC Red Bull Salzburg. In the last championship match he was on the pitch for the full distance against the newly crowned champions FK Austria Wien. The match was won 3:0.

Dähne moved to RB Leipzig for the 2014/15 season. After only one season, however, he left Leipzig again without having played a single game for the first team.

From 2015 to 2017, Dähne played for Finnish first division club HJK Helsinki in the Veikkausliiga. From January 2018, he spent two and a half years under contract with Polish first division side Wisła Płock in the Ekstraklasa. In the summer of 2020, he returned to Germany and joined second-division club Holstein Kiel.

National team

Internationally, he has played for the German U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19 and U-20 national teams and also took part in the 2011 U-17 World Cup in Mexico, but did not make an appearance as a substitute goalkeeper as Germany finished third. He made his first appearance for a German junior side, for the German U-16s against Austria on 16 August 2009 at Rheinpark Stadion Vaduz in Liechtenstein. The match, against, among others, later internationals such as Marcel Sabitzer, was won 6-2. He was selected for the U-20 national team for the first time in a
“International Match Round” (with Italy, Poland and Switzerland). He came on for Patrick Rakovsky at second half in the 2-0 win over Poland in Pfullendorf.
