Lennart Thy (born 25 February 1992) is a German footballer who plays as a striker for Büyükşehir Belediye Erzurumspor.

Club career

On 18 January 2016, Werder Bremen announced Thy would be returning to the club for the 2016–2017 season. He signed a three-year contract.[1] On 24 September 2016, he scored his first goal for the club since his return after coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 win over VfL Wolfsburg.[2]

In July 2017, Werder Bremen confirmed that Thy would be loaned to VVV-Venlo for the 2017–18 season.[3][4]

In July 2018, Thy left Werder Bremen permanently to join Büyükşehir Belediye Erzurumspor, newly promoted to the Süper Lig.[5]

In September 2018, Thy won the FIFA Fair Play Award during the 2018 The Best FIFA Football Awards. Thy missed a Eredivisie match for VVV Venlo against PSV Eindhoven to save the life of a Leukemia patient in urgent need of matching stem cells for treatment by donating blood. His gesture actually saw an increase in cell donations in the Netherlands after widespread coverage of this news all over the world. "The best thing about the story is that thousands of new donators registered in the Netherlands - this really makes me proud," Thy said during his acceptance speech. [6]

International career

Thy was joint topscorer in the tournament alongside Luc Castaignos as Germany won the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[7] Thy scored the equaliser to Castaignos' opener in the final as Germany beat Netherlands 2–1 after-extra-time.[8]
