Jan-Niklas Beste (born 4 January 1999) is a German professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club 1. FC Heidenheim.
Club career[edit]
After joining Borussia Dortmund at the age of eight, Beste made his competitive debut for the senior squad on 12 August 2017 in a 2017–18 DFB-Pokal match-up against Rielasingen-Arlen.[2] Despite appearing for the senior squad in pre-season friendlies that summer as well, he spent the rest of the 2017–18 season on the Under-19 squad.
On 4 July 2018, Beste moved to Werder Bremen, where he also was assigned to the reserves squad for the first season with them.[3]
On 18 June 2019, he was loaned to FC Emmen in the Netherlands for the 2019–20 season.[4] He made his Eredivisie debut for Emmen on 24 August 2019 in a game against Willem II.[5]
In July 2020, he again left Werder Bremen for a loan spell, joining SSV Jahn Regensburg for two seasons.[6]
On 15 June 2022, Beste signed a three-year contract with 1. FC Heidenheim.[7] On 26 August 2023, he scored his club's first ever goal in the Bundesliga from a free-kick in a 3–2 home defeat against Hoffenheim.[8]
International career[edit]
Beste was a youth international footballer for Germany.[9] In March 2024, he was called up for the German national team for the friendly matches against France and the Netherlands.[10] However, he suffered an adductor strain during training which forced him to withdraw ahead of the aforementioned fixtures.[11]
