Daniel Frahn (born 3 August 1987) is a German footballer who plays as a striker for SV Babelsberg 03.

Career

Early career

Frahn began his career with

SV Babelsberg of the same division. His third season with Babelsberg was hugely successful – he finished as the league's top scorer with 29 goals, and the club finished as league champions, earning promotion to the 3. Liga
.

RB Leipzig

Despite Babelsberg's promotion, Frahn opted to stay in the fourth tier, signing for big-spending RB Leipzig along with strike partner Stefan Kutschke. He was the captain of the team, and memorably scored a hat-trick to eliminate VfL Wolfsburg in the first round of the 2011–12 DFB-Pokal. He finished the 2011–12 season as Regionalliga Nord top scorer for a second time (with 26 goals), but the club missed out on promotion, finishing in second place behind Hallescher FC. In the 2012–13 season, RB Leipzig entered the re-formed Regionalliga Nordost, and won the division unbeaten, with Frahn again finishing as top scorer with 20 goals. They beat Sportfreunde Lotte in a playoff to secure promotion to the 3. Liga, although Frahn missed both legs of the tie. He scored the club's first ever 3. Liga goal, in a 1–0 win over Hallescher FC on the opening day of the 2013–14 season. His sixth goal of the season came ten seconds into a home-match against VfB Stuttgart II: seven Leipzig players stormed the Stuttgart half immediately after kick-off; the ball was played back then a long-ball was hit forward to Matthias Morys, who crossed for Frahn to score.[1][2] RB Leipzig went on to win the match 3–1. Frahn ended the season as the league's secondtop scorer with 19 goals, behind SV Darmstadt 98's Dominik Stroh-Engel, as the Red Bulls were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga as runners-up.

FC Heidenheim

On 10 June 2015, it was confirmed, that Frahn had signed a contract with 1. FC Heidenheim valid from 1 July 2015.[3]

Chemnitzer FC

He moved to Chemnitzer FC on 5 January 2016.[4]

On 5 August 2019, Chemnitz terminated Frahn's contract with the club after accusing the player of “openly displaying” his sympathy for neo-Nazi groups.[5][6]

SV Babelsberg 03

Frahn signed for his former club SV Babelsberg 03 in January 2020 as a free agent. His signing caused controversy and divided opinion amongst Babelsberg supporters due to his association with the German far-right, others supported the signing, including club president Archibald Horlitz, who said "I asked everyone in Babelsberg, life members, fans... 'do you think that Frahn is a Nazi?' and no one said yes". Then I asked, 'do you think he has right-wing views'. No one said yes". He made his debut for the club as a substitute against BSG Chemie Leipzig on 2 February 2020.[7]
