Jona Niemiec (born 19 September 2001)[1] is a German footballer who plays as a forward for Danish Superliga club Odense Boldklub.
He began his senior career at TSG Sprockhövel, joining Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2021. He made his senior debut for the club in February 2023, and played in the 2. Bundesliga before his transfer to OB in September 2025.
Niemiec was born in Lüdenscheid, North Rhine-Westphalia. His father, brother and uncle were all involved in local football.[2] He is of Polish origin.[3]
Niemiec began playing football in his hometown as a youth for LTV 61 and SD Lüdenscheid, before joining Rot-Weiß Lüdenscheid. In the summer of 2020, he was about to join the latter club's senior team, but instead chose to sign for TSG Sprockhövel in the fifth-tier Oberliga Westfalen. His first year as a senior was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but earned him trials at professional clubs Rot-Weiss Essen, SC Freiburg and FC Schalke 04 before he opted for Fortuna Düsseldorf. Aged 19, he left his job at plumbing manufacturer Flühs Drehtechnik.[2]
