Player Info
Marcel Franke is a towering German central defender currently anchoring the backline for 2. Bundesliga side Karlsruher SC. At 32 years old and 193cm tall, Franke is a physically imposing figure known for his strength in duels and proficiency in the air. His career began at Dynamo Dresden before a move to Greuther Fürth brought him to the second division.

Franke later returned to Germany, finding a home at Hannover 96 and now Karlsruher, where he has established himself as a reliable and consistent defensive pillar. While team honors have been elusive, his individual consistency at the 2. Bundesliga level is notable.
